Kricheldorff ran an antique shop at Bergstrasse 30 in Celle, but also restored and painted pictures himself. From 1899 to 1940 he kept a record of his income from art painting; the entries in the list ended with his self-portrait, which was unveiled on September 8, 1940 in the royal hall of the Celle rifle house.

In 1914 an exhibition by Kricheldorff took place in the Ducal Museum in Braunschweig . The use of a studio at Leopoldstrasse 7 in Munich is also documented during this period , although Kricheldorff's residential address was still in Celle.
