They were both contempories and founder Members of the Berlin Secessionist School. His central theme was the lakes and woods of Brandenburg, although he also produced etchings and craft designs, for instance for carpets and wallpapers, as well as literary works. Refused after half a year at the Academy in Berlin, Leistikow took private lessons and taught at the city's art school in the early 1890s.

In 1892 he became a co-founder of the oppositional artists' group "Vereinigung der XI". The rejection of his "Grundewaldsee" (Lake Grunewald) at the Grand Berlin Exhibition in 1888 was one of the triggers for the foundation of the Berlin Secession a year later in 1898, a development in which Leistikow played a major role.

Finally, in 1903, he became one of the initiators of the Deutsche Künstlerbund (German Association of Artists). Leistikow's painterly repertoire had its place between Jugendstil and Impressionism.
