Ernst Giese

[2] After the trip to Italy, he returned to Dresden and ran a joint architectural office with Bernhard Schreiber.

His wife Gertrud, née Barteldes, gave birth to his first son Max Eduard, who became a landscape painter, in 1867, and Friedrich, who joined his later Dresden office as an architect in 1871.

[3] Because he did not offer the options in Düsseldorf, which he had hoped, he returned in 1872 to Dresden and initially teamed up with the architect Frederick O. Hartmann.

Evidence of the professional reputation that Ernst Giese earned as an architect and university professor is also his appointment in 1892 as a full member of the Prussian Academy of the Arts.
