In 1969, Ehrig received his diploma in mathematics from Technische Universität Berlin.
In 1971, he earned his doctorate, and in 1974 his habilitation from the same university.
Subsequently, he had research stays at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center, among others.
In 1976, he became a lecturer at the TU Berlin, and the director of its Institute for Software Engineering and Theoretical Computer Science.
In 1984, he was appointed full professor at the TU Berlin.
Between 1981 and 1991, he was also Dean of its Department of Computer Science for several periods.
He was EATCS Vice President from 1997 to 2002.
He retired on 1 October 2010.[2][3]
