Epitaph

Albert Verbeek was the son of the architect Hans Verbeek . He studied art history, classical archeology and history in Freiburg im Breisgau , Cologne and Bonn and received his doctorate in Bonn under Paul Clemen in 1936 ( The founding structure of the Church of St. Georg in Cologne and the Rhenish architecture of the 11th century ). In 1937 he married the writer Helma Cardauns . The couple had five sons, the youngest of whom is the artist Egbert Verbeek .

Verbeek worked for the Rhenish Office for the Preservation of Monuments and was acting state curator from 1953 to 1955.

With his colleague at the Rhineland-Palatinate State Office for the Preservation of Monuments, Hans Erich Kubach , whom he knew from his student days, he published an inventory of the Romanesque churches in the Rhine-Maas area (the plan for this came from their time together as a student).

Verbeek died in 1984 at the age of 75 and was buried in his wife's family grave in Cologne's Melaten cemetery (hallway 55).
