Gerhard Graubner
Gerhard Moritz Graubner (born January 29, 1899 in Dorpat , Livonia Gouvernement , Russian Empire ; † July 24, 1970 in Hanover ) was a German architect and university professor .
Life
Graubner was a student and later assistant to Paul Bonatz and one of the most important representatives of the so-called Stuttgart School . He graduated from the Technical University of Stuttgart in 1923 as a graduate engineer and worked there as a research assistant until 1932 . In 1927, after passing the 2nd state examination, he worked as a government builder in the civil service.
During his studies from 1925 to 1927 he was involved in planning assignments in the Stuttgart architecture office of Paul Bonatz ( Bonatz and Scholer ), from where he took over style- defining features for larger projects, while in residential buildings after a trip to England the influence of the English country house ( cottage ) was so formative that this remained legible in drafts after the war.
From 1932 to 1939 he worked as a freelance architect, after which he took over the technical management of the Düsseldorf urban planning company until 1942 as a representative of the NSDAP Gauleiter Florian , after he had presented a general development plan for the expansion of the city as the capital of the Düsseldorf district in 1938 . The Gauleiter personally guaranteed Graubner's entry into the NSDAP in 1939 ( membership number 7.243.289).
From 1940 to 1967 Graubner was a full professor for design and building science at the Technical University of Hanover . Until 1945 he acted as councilor of the city of Hanover and as "Gaukulturrat". In the post-war years he became known for numerous theaters and theaters. Several of his assistants at what was then the Technical University and employees from his office were later appointed professors or known as successful architects through their buildings. In 1953 Graubner became a visiting professor at Istanbul Technical University .
