In the life of Ernst Barlach
The whole life1906
Eight weeks in Russia
To lift his spirits, Barlach travelled for eight weeks with his brother Nikolaus to visit their brother Hans, who was working in Kharkiv, and saw Kharkiv, Pokotilovka, Konstantinovka, Belgorod and Bakhmut. The journey became one of the greatest influences on his art: “Russia showed me its face,” he later wrote.

1906–1908
Custody battle with Rosa Schwab over his son
While Barlach was travelling in Russia, his son Nikolaus was born on 20 August 1906. A two-year struggle with the child's mother, Rosa Schwab, over custody followed, and in the end Barlach was granted it.
