biography

Runge studied in Bremen at the Technikum (today University of Bremen ). Just one year after completing his studies, he founded an architecture office and construction business with his college friend Eduard Scotland in 1904 . They renovated houses in the surrounding area of Lower Saxony and from 1906 to 1915 they built a number of country, manor and town houses as well as youth hostels and company community centers.

His most important buildings created after the First World War : In the Böttcherstrasse was from 1923 to 1926 according to plans by Runge and Scotland - the conservative Homeland Security movement were close - the home of Kaffee HAG - House of the Seven Lazy Brothers , the house of St. Peter , the House of Carillon built. The houses were built with the typical materials of the time, brick and sandstone. Other houses - u. a. from 1924 to 1927 Schwachhauser Ring 2–18 - were planned and implemented by him. During the Second World War he retired in Ahausen near Rotenburg (Wümme) . There he was murdered in his hunting lodge in 1946. The crime could not be solved.

Parallel to his architecture office with Eduard Scotland in Bremen, Alfred Runge founded the company Runge & Co. Kunstgewerbliche Werkstätten Osnabrück in 1908 together with his brother Rudolf Runge. The architects Runge & Scotland designed, among other things, park benches made entirely of wood for the Osnabrück-based company.
