Lohde, the last pupil of Peter von Cornelius , studied under Cornelius and until 1866 at the Berlin Academy. A study trip to Silesia aroused his interest in some of the remains of old sgraffito paintings that had been found , and he managed to acquire a special technique in this technique.
In 1867 he executed four large compositions from the Trojan saga in sgraffito in the stairwell of the Berlin Sophiengymnasium (in color print in 4 sheets, Berl. 1868). In addition, sgraffitos were made in the gables of the War Ministry's riding arena and other decorative paintings.
