Albert Bosslet
Albert Boßlet (born January 23, 1880 in Frankenthal (Palatinate) ; † October 28, 1957 in Würzburg ) was a German architect . Stylistically, he is considered a representative of the so-called Heimatschutz architecture , emerged primarily in the field of Catholic church building and created almost 100 Catholic churches by the Second World War alone.
Life
Boßlet received his training from 1901–1903 at the private technical center in Strelitz . After various positions as an employee in well-known architectural offices in Cologne , Saarbrücken and Stuttgart , he settled in Landau in the Palatinate in 1909 as a freelance architect. After the First World War, Boßlet worked 1919–1925 as a consultant for housing construction in the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior in Munich, most recently in the rank of regional building officer. As part of this activity, he made a name for himself in the early 1920s when rebuilding Oppau, which was destroyed by an explosion at the BASF plant . From 1925 on he practiced his profession again in self-employment, first in Munich and from about 1928 in Würzburg. After the war ended in 1945, he and his nephew Erwin van Aaken founded a working group that lasted until his death.
In 1926, Boßlet became an honorary member of the Trifels Munich Catholic student association, to which Erwin van Aaken was also a member.

Before 1939 Albert Boßlet was the Commander's Cross of the Gregorius Order by Pius XI. awarded.
