Eduard Josef Enzmann (born 1 August 1882 in Faberhütten near Kaaden, Bohemia; † 18 May 1965 in Giessen) was a German landscape painter. Enzmann was born in the then Wernsdorf district of Faberhütten near Kaaden. His parents were the miller Wenzel Franz Enzmann and Theresia née Pleil from Köstelwald near Kaaden. He completed an apprenticeship as a porcelain painter in Reichenberg. During his work as a porcelain painter, he was artistically supported by the sculptor Adolf Schnabel (1874–1950). With the help of a scholarship, he began studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague in 1908. Many of his landscape paintings, drawings and graphics have been used in books and magazines. For example, in 1916 Eduard Gnendinger published the book Der Dammbruch der Talsperre an der Weiße Desse (The Dam Break of the Dam on the White Desse on 18 September 1916) in Dessendorf, in which several of Enzmann's nature studies are shown. Enzmann also designed the cover of the book In der Sahara / Gustav Nachtigal, published by Adolf Wildner in 1922. [5] Karl Richard Fischer also used Doctor Kittel for his book, which was first published in 1924. Legends and other folk heritage of the Jizera Mountains: drawings by Enzmann. Enzmann also worked in the field of lithography. In 1924–1927 he designed the interiors of the building of the former district government in Jablonec (Podhorská 59), including the so-called Jizera Triptych.
