Immediately afterwards he went into business for himself with his partner Wilhelm Böckmann . The architecture office Ende und Böckmann existed until 1895 and was one of the leading offices in Berlin. The Dresden architect Rudolf Schilling also worked there temporarily .

Since 1874, Ende was a member of the Prussian Academy of the Arts . In 1878 he became a professor at the Berlin Building Academy and the Technical University of Charlottenburg . From 1895 to 1904 was the president of the Academy of Arts.

Ende was associated with the Ravené family of merchants . For Louis Fréderic Jacques Ravené he developed the plans for the construction of the ruins of the Reichsburg Cochem . His daughter Martha Helene Wilhelmine married his son Louis Auguste Ravené ; around 1900 he built a villa for the couple in Wannsee.

His brother Louis Ende (1840–1900) was a master builder in Munich.

Hermann Ende was co-editor of the Architecture Manual . The focus of the work of Ende and Böckmann were villas in the Berlin district of Tiergarten, especially in the diplomatic quarter . Only a few of these buildings survived the Second World War . Furthermore, they planned and established the construction of the Potsdam villa district Neubabelsberg . The various buildings for the Berlin Zoo were also remarkable . Ende and Böckmann erected numerous buildings around the world and at times even had a branch in Japan .

In Japan, they were commissioned to build the Parliament , Justice Department and Supreme Court buildings . The first drafts were rejected by the government in 1889 because they were too Japanese ( Japonism ). According to their plans, however, they were only able to complete the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Justice, while the Parliament received a temporary wooden building and their contract was prematurely terminated in 1890 due to excessive costs.
