Life

Grave of Alfred Moritz Hauschild in the Trinity Cemetery in Dresden

Hauschild grew up in a very wealthy family; his father Maximilian Hauschild (1804–1877) was the founder of the Max Hauschild cotton spinning mill in Hohenfichte . From 1858 Hauschild studied for a year at the Dresden Polytechnic , was enrolled at the Dresden Academy Building School from 1861 , and from 1863 worked as a student of Hermann Nicolai . After completing his training, he went to Paris to see Honoré Daumet and to travel to Europe and the Orient.

From 1875 he ran his own construction company with Robert Eltzner , in which, among others, Hermann Thume was employed. Hauschild's buildings included his own Villa Parkstrasse 9 in Dresden (built 1866–1868), the branch of the Imperial Reichsbank on Bankstrasse (built with Robert Eltzner 1876–1877) and the Stübelbrunnen , built in 1901 together with Hans Hartmann-MacLean .

In addition to his work as an architect, Hauschild was also active as an art patron, especially in his later years, and supported the Gemäldegalerie Dresden in purchasing various works of art. He was co-editor of the magazines Architektur-Literatur and Universum . Hauschild died in Dresden in 1929 and was buried in the Trinity cemetery.
