Life

Ludwig Paffendorf began studying architecture at the Technical University (Berlin-) Charlottenburg in the winter semester of 1890/1891 and became a member of the Corps Saxonia-Berlin in the same semester. In the winter semester of 1891/92 he moved to the Technical University of Stuttgart and became a member of the Corps Stauffia .

After completing his studies, he worked for a long time in Friedrich Ohmann's studio in Prague before settling in Cologne in 1898 as an architect and craftsman. Here he first distinguished himself through the construction of several villas in the Marienburg district , such as the castle-inspired villa at Lindenallee 19, which was built in 1908 and 1909.

In 1912 at the latest he was appointed a member of the German Werkbund . At the Cologne Werkbund exhibition of 1914 he was involved with three works, the "Cologne House" and the pavilion of the tobacco shop Alenfelder as an architect as well as the furnishing of the upper floor in the "two-storey villa house" (also: "storey house").

During the First World War , he designed numerous military cemeteries in southern Belgium from 1917 as structural engineering consultant in the civil administration for Wallonia . Examples are the Anloy Heath Cemetery and the Halanzy Cemetery. In 1934 he erected the memorial in Cologne-Urbach for the Urbach and Elsdorf soldiers who fell in World War I.

In 1932 he created the designs for the garden city Grengel in Cologne-Porz in the "settler style" . He did not live to see the realization of his plans in 1949. In 1958 the Catholic kindergarten in Grengel was built according to his plans.

In addition to his work as an architect, he was also active as a painter . Four of his pictures from 1910 are in the holdings of the Cologne City Museum .

He played a decisive role in organizing the art exhibitions in Cologne's Flora before the First World War. From 1909 he was a member of the board of the Cologne Art Association.

Since May 10, 1906 he was married to Katharina Froitzheim, b. Schmidt (1877–1946), daughter of the architecture professor Heinrich von Schmidt , widow of the history painter Heinrich Froitzheim .

He bequeathed his estate to the Porz City Archives. In Cologne-Rath , Paffendorfstrasse is named after him.
