The son of a Catholic baker from the small town of Mutzig, he studied from 1906 to 1912 in Strasbourg with Auguste Cammissar, and in Munich with Martin von Feuerstein (who hailed from the small town of Barr, very close to Mutzig). Having obtained the title of Meisterschüler, Ehrismann then established his own workshop, providing stained-glass windows for a number of churches and public institutions across Alsace, but also some murals.[3][4][2]
Many of Ehrismann's creations have been destroyed during World War II, or due to fires having gutted the churches,[2] but a number of them can still be seen in situ in Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Colmar, Schiltigheim, Bischheim, Molsheim, Meistratzheim, Lampertsloch, Betschdorf, and Weitbruch.
