Life


Elster was born in Kreiensen on 8 October 1867. He studied at the Braunschweig University of Technology from 1888 to 1891, later attending the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. He then went to Berlin, where he studied under Otto Lessing, Fritz Schaper and, until 1905, worked with Adolf Brütt. He maintained a private studio during most of these years. In 1910, he became Brütt's successor as Director of the Weimar Sculpture School and their foundry. He returned to Braunschweig in 1913 and remained there until his death.


Selected major works


In 1909, he received one of the five prizes given in a competition to create the monument for Fritz Reuter in Stavenhagen, but the contract was eventually awarded to Wilhelm Wandschneider.
