Carl Ernst Heinrich Ziller , often just Ernst Ziller , (born October 2, 1832 in Potsdam , † May 30, 1866 there ) was a German architect .

family

Ziller was the first-born son of the master builder and government building officer in Prussia , Christian Heinrich Ziller (1791–1868), and the older brother of Hermann Ziller (1844–1915).

He came from the Saxon master builder family Ziller . His father was a cousin of Christian Gottlieb Ziller . Thus he was a second cousin of the brothers Moritz and Gustav Ziller, who worked in Saxony, as well as their older brother, who worked in Greece, the architect of the Greek king , building researcher and archaeologist Ernst Ziller (1837-1923). Since Carl Ernst Heinrich's nickname was Ernst too, there were always confusions, for example in the general dictionary of fine artists from antiquity to the present .

Life

Ziller studied at the Berlin Building Academy . In 1856 he sent the Berlin Academy exhibition with a design for a Gothic cathedral. In 1858 he passed the building foreman examination at the Berlin Building Academy and was sworn in at the beginning of 1859 as a site foreman for the government in Potsdam. In 1859 he received the Rome price of 300 thalers for a study trip. In March 1862 he went on this six-month study trip to Italy, which took him via Switzerland, Milan, Genoa to Rome and further south to Naples with Pompeii and Paestum, on the way back to Florence, Siena, Verona and Venice. The drawings and watercolors he made during this trip, as well as his travel diary, ended up in the Potsdam Museum and were exhibited in the Winckelmann Museum in Stendal in 1998 .

From December 1861, Ziller was a member of the Berlin Architects' Association and from around 1863 of the palace construction commission.

Ernst Ziller died in Potsdam in 1866 to “gastr. nerve. Fever ”and was buried in the old cemetery of his family (line 5, no. 4) in Potsdam's old cemetery , which was cleared in the early 1980s.

The Architecture Museum of the Technical University of Berlin keeps other monthly competitions as well as drafts and travel sketches by Ziller.
