Professor Ernst Kirchner (1847 Gransee -1921 Chemnitz) was the father of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. As an engineer for paper chemistry in Aschaffenburg, he was called to teach and do research at the ‘Gewerbeakademie’ in Chemnitz in 1892. In the course of his apprenticeship, Kirchner published several technical papers and the four-volume standard work "Das Papier". Kirchner was very devoted to his son and his artistic ambitions and supported his first drawing and watercolor lessons. Although he insisted on his son studying architecture, he paid for two semesters at the art school of Wilhelm von Debschitz and Hermann Obrist in Munich in 1903/04. [MvL]
