Jacob Nöbbe was the son of a master painter, with whom he apprenticed from 1867 to 1870. After studying at the art academies in Düsseldorf and Dresden (his teachers there included Ludwig Richter and Julius Hübner), he worked for a year as a portrait painter before going to the Berlin art academy to expand his knowledge. There Heinrich Petersen-Angeln and Erich Kubierschky were his fellow students, with whom he stayed in Ekensund in 1882. He was a member of the Schleswig-Holstein Art Association and also exhibited in Munich and Berlin.
