Biography
Biography
In 1900 the poet Rainer Maria Rilke travelled to Worpswede and befriended the artist's colony, eventually writing essays about each of its members. Amongst his students at the Künstlerkolonie Worpswede was Anna Feldhusen, who was interested in Ende's skills in etching. He volunteered for the army at the outbreak of the First World War, serving in an infantry regiment. On 10 April 1918 he was severely wounded near Mesen and taken to the hospital in Stettin, where he died. His grave is preserved in the Worpswede Cemetery. • Illustration — Birken am Moorgraben (1896)
