Paul was born into a Jewish family, began his work with articles in magazines on political topics, using the pseudonym Gangolf, during the First World War he served in various troops.

The peak of Paul Gangolf's creative activity came in the 1920s, when he worked in lithography, published and exhibited in Berlin, London and Paris.

Already after his death, in 1937, as part of the "Degenerate Art" campaign, Gangolf's paintings were confiscated from museums in Nazi Germany and most were destroyed.
