German Grobe was a German painter born in Hanau, Germany. His formal artistic training began with Georg Cornicelius before he attended the Städtesche Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt am Main, studying under Eduard von Steinle. His education continued at the Kunstakademie München under Ludwig von Löfftz and later at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, where he was a student of Eduard von Gebhardt and Eugen Dücker.
Throughout his career, Grobe traveled extensively to coastal regions, including Bordighera/Riviera, Le Tréport/Normandie, Vlissingen, Sylt, Ekensund, and Egmond aan Zee. He was a member of the Hamburger Künstlerverein and the Verein der Düsseldorfer Künstler. In 1902, he established a "Malschule für Damen" in Düsseldorf. He spent much of his life in Düsseldorf, eventually residing in the Pempelfort district.

His paintings frequently depicted the "holländische Fischerflottille," featuring flat-bottomed fishing vessels known as Bomschuiten anchored on the shore. His repertoire expanded to include fish auctions, mussel fishermen with carts, bathers, and children by the seashore.
