Life

Staubert was the son of a German officer in the Russian army. He studied in St. Petersburg from 1788–1801 at the Academy of Arts with Andrejan Sakharov . He then worked in the engineering department of the military office until his death . His practical work began under the direction of the architect Andrei Voronichin with the completion of the house church of the mountain cadet corps .

Staubert mainly built in St. Petersburg. His first significant work was the military orphanage (1806–1809) on Moskovsky Prospect 17. 1822–1825 he built the late classicist guard officers' school , which later became the Nicholas Cavalry School. In a project by Carlo Rossi , Staubert built the building for the Senate and the Synod . Then he rebuilt 1826-1827 the building of the artillery school . In 1827 he was elected to the Academy of Arts as a free honorary member. 1828-1829 he built the naval prison. He built the barracks of the Moscow Regiment and the Jägerregiment with bricks . He was the first to dispense with plastering and stucco , so that he was considered the founder of the brick style. 1831–1836 he expanded the Tschesmensker Palais with two-story wing structures.

Outside of St. Petersburg he built the city hospital in Gatchina (1820–1822), the neoclassical cathedral of the birth of John the Baptist (1826–1831, only preserved as a ruin) in the Schluesselburg fortress , and the ring of the Tsaritsyn regiment in Jamburg ( 1830–1838) with the architect Trendelenburg, in Babrujsk the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and in Dünaburg the official building and grammar school. In Dünaburg he planned the defenses together with Georg Heinrich Hekel (1764–1832). Mention should also be made of his project of the detainees' barracks in Omsk (1830–1831) and the project of the inn and brick barracks in Brest (1835).

Staubert's last work was the unadorned, functional building of the Nikolaus Military Hospital (1835–1840) in the late Classicist style in St. Petersburg, as was typical for Staubert.

Staubert was buried in the Smolensk cemetery in St. Petersburg .
