Ernst Hugo von Stenglin
Son of Marshal A. von Stenglin (1822–1900) and his wife Clotilde (1832–1912), came from the von Stenglin lineage of the Mecklenburg region, north of Berlin.
Ernst Hugo von Stenglin began his career as an officer in the Prussian army, in the Grand Ducal Jaeger battalion of Mecklenburg No. 14.
After his active period, he studied at the Munich Academy. In Berlin, where he moved later, he was appreciated both as a portrait painter and as an animal painter, able to observe them with the eye of the artist and depicted them with the characteristic fidelity of his painting.
With the outbreak of the First World War, Stenglin entered the field as captain of the Landwehr in the reserve Jaeger battalion No. 15 of Potsdam and was killed in an assault near Dixmuide.
