  Georg Philipp Wörlen was born in 1886 in Dillingen an der Donau, in Bavarian Swabia. He attended the School of Arts and Crafts in Nuremberg and learned under a church painter. He then worked as a restorer in the Altheimer studio in Regensburg. In 1914 he moved to Marnheim as a teacher, where he taught at a secondary school. During his front-line duty in World War I, among them Romania and France, his son Hanns Egon Wörlen was born. Wörlen himself was injured twice during the war. Shortly before the end of war he was taken as a British prisoner. After his return, Wörlen moved with his family to Passau and became an art teacher at the Leopoldinum high school. Together with Franz Bronstert, Fritz Fuhrken and Reinhard Hilker, he founded the artists' group "Der Fels," which organized more than 30 exhibitions between 1920 and 1927. Shortly thereafter, Carry Hauser also joined this group. During 1923 and 1924 Wörlen was also a member of the artists' group "Die Sechs". In 1927 he joined the Hagenbund and in 1946 he founded the "Donau-Wald-Gruppe" with some fellow artists. The artist's estate can be found today in the Museum Moderner Kunst Wörlen in Passau.
