Fritz Trautwein (born March 11, 1911 in Charlottenburg ; † April 4, 1993 in Hamburg ) was a German architect .

Life

Fritz Trautwein was born in Charlottenburg near Berlin. From 1930 to 1936 he studied at the Technical University of Charlottenburg . In the years 1936–1942 he took over construction management for the military district command in Hamburg and the army construction offices in Bremen and Vienna. In 1942, due to his congenital handicap, a lawsuit took place before the Munich Hereditary Health Court , which Trautwein won. From 1943 to 1945 Trautwein worked for Egon Eiermann in Berlin. He became known as a member of the working group Grindelhochhäuser in Hamburg 1946–1956. From 1956 to 1973 he was a lecturer at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts.

Fritz Trautwein was one of the most important Hamburg architects of the post-war period, who decisively shaped the reconstruction of the city of Hamburg. As the first high-rise residential complex in Germany, the Grindel high-rise buildings were a visible symbol of the link to international modernism and new building after the war. The television tower (Heinrich-Hertz-Turm), also a project by Trautwein, has remained an important landmark in the Hamburg cityscape. Most Hamburg residents , however, come into contact primarily with the Trautwein subway structures; the Jungfernstieg and Landungsbrücken stations are considered to be particularly successful subway structures of their time. The concrete water tower in Flensburg is also impressive.

Fritz Trautwein was buried in the Nienstedten cemetery.
