Karl Schmidt-Rottluff was one of the founding members of the Die Brucke organized in a former butchershop in Dresden in 1905. It was he who named the group after a quote by Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, “What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end…” Schmidt-Rottluff was close friend of Erich Heckel who he met in highschool in 1901. Both studied architecture at the Technical Academy in Dresden but left their studies after founding Die Brucke. Many consider Schmidt-Rottluff to be the most independent of Die Brucke…
