Julius Martinet
Julius Martinet (* 1829 in Mittenwald ; † May 24, 1899 in Coburg ) was a German architect and Coburg city planner .
Live and act
After his school education in Mittenwald, Martinet was enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in the field of architecture in 1847 . As a trained architect, Martinet came to Coburg via the Royal Bavarian Railway Commission , the Ludwig August Riedinger company in Augsburg and the Bavarian Eastern Railway Company . On the occasion of the development of the area between Bahnhofstraße, Lossaustraße and Kanonenweg, he was promoted to city architect in 1859. Mayor Rudolf Muther justified this by stating that Martinet had already made a significant contribution to the beautification of Coburg and received only a moderate salary overall . In 1876 he was awarded the Cross of Merit of the Saxon-Ernestine House Order. 80 files in the Coburg city archive testify to the importance of Martinet as a city architect. In 1878 he was promoted to city planning officer.
In the following years Martinet tried to balance the water supply between the requirements of the magistrate and the wishes of the citizens. His difficult work is evidenced by the road construction files, where he felt the economy of the city administration. In addition to mediating in these confrontations, he also took care of the social concerns of the builders. The Coburger Zeitung reported on October 9, 1898 about Martinet's application to retire at the end of the year after 39 years of service and emphasized:
- It took all the strength of a man to meet the increasing demands placed on the board of the municipal building authority by the flourishing of the city, which was 40 years ago in very modest circumstances, and to make Coburg different in modern taste up-and-coming cities worthy of the side, and cities of the same size can be placed at the top. Construction and beautification of streets, facilities, squares, paths and sidewalks, sewerage of the water pipeline that is beneficial for Coburg, bridge construction, river and bank corrections etc. are part of his activity .
Julius Martinet experienced a brief retirement. He died in May 1899.
