According to the reverse of a photograph from around 1900, Julius Goebel had been appointed court photographer of the Duke of Anhalt and the Prussian Prince George of Prussia . He received several awards for his photographic work during various exhibitions: 1888 in Lübeck , 1889 in Cologne , 1896 in Braunschweig and 1899 in Stuttgart .

Photograph from 1914: soldiers drafted into the First World War in wagons as they depart from Bad Ems

Julius Goebel also operated documentary photography and took landscape and architecture photos, some of which he reproduced as so-called "real photography " in postcard format , with a simple stamp "Julius Goebel, Hofotograf, Bad Ems" on the author on the side to be described pointed out.

In 1892 Julius Goebel's son Karl ("Karli") was born. At the beginning of the First World War , Karl and his brother Erich were drafted as soldiers to the front against France . A photo of her father from this time can now be found in the Bad Ems City Museum . It shows a railway rolling through Bad Ems - a train with various wagons full of soldiers who are waving to older men, women and children behind a barrier. During his military training and later also from the Western Front, his son Karl sent numerous letters to his family, which testify to the initial euphoria and later doubts of the soldier who was drawn to art. Copies of these letters were published by Karl Goebel's great-nephew Wolfgang Hofmann. Karl Goebel fell on Easter Monday 1915 (April 4) near the French town of Chilly .
