Alfred Schild (architect)
Alfred Schild (born January 6, 1905 in Berlin , † April 23, 1996 in Bad Salzhausen ) was a German architect .
Life
Schild began his training in 1919 with the Berlin architect and castle researcher Bodo Ebhardt . After graduating from the Berlin building trade school, Schild worked in the mid-1920s in the planning department of the Sommerfeld group of the building contractor Adolf Sommerfeld , initially as an employee of Fred Forbat , and from 1928 to 1936 as chief architect. Before the Second World War , Schild was mainly active in building housing developments for Sommerfeld in the Berlin area and as a freelance architect. Schild also planned the Berlin subway extension planned by Sommerfeld, but not implemented, via Mexikoplatz to Kleinmachnow . He was also responsible for the graphics and the overall concept of the shopping arcades at the Onkel Toms Hütte underground station, which opened in 1931/32 . After the end of the war, Alfred Schild opened his own architecture office in Frankfurt am Main . In the southern Hessian area he left secular and church buildings in the style of moderate post-war modernism. His DGK bank was one of the first buildings in Frankfurt's banking district; an annex was added in 1957 and demolished in 2011. Other of his buildings - such as the Unitarian Weihehalle (also in Frankfurt am Main) - are now under monument protection .
