Alfred Schrobsdorff

Alfred Schrobsdorff (born December 29, 1861 in Charlottenburg (since 1920 part of Berlin); † February 11, 1940 ; full name: Otto Emil Alfred Schrobsdorff ) was a German architect and real estate entrepreneur . Since the late 1880s, he has built numerous residential buildings, especially in the independent city of Charlottenburg until 1920. Schrobsdorff was known as the “building king of Charlottenburg”.

Life

Alfred Schrobsdorff was born in the ancestral home of the von Schrobsdorff family. After attending school and training as a master builder , he founded the Stadtbahnhof Charlottenburg Terraingesellschaft in 1892 . The latter bought - under its management board Alfred Schrobsdorff - building plots, which were mainly located around the Stuttgarter Platz in Charlottenburg. The company was dissolved again in 1901. By 1903, the shareholders received back 136 percent of their paid-in capital. Then founded Alfred Schrobsdorff together with Max Steinthal by the German Bank AG , the New West AG for land utilization in Charlottenburg that the 134  hectares large area Neu-Westend district , southwest of the villa colony Westend to today's Theodor-Heuss-Platz and the Reichsstrasse , parceled and partly self-built. The properties were then marketed. In 1907, Schrobsdorff and his family moved to Westend themselves , to a representative villa designed by Bernhard Schaede on a corner plot of Ahornallee / Klaus-Groth-Straße, which has not been preserved. The writer Angelika Schrobsdorff , a granddaughter of Alfred Schrobsdorff, has also described the tense life in the Schrobsdorff villa with a critical eye in her book You are not like other mothers .

Foundation, endowment

In the 20th century, family members founded the Dr. Alfred Schrobsdorff , which according to its statute "... supports the descendants of the founder, also supports the local history museum in Charlottenburg as well as institutions that promote the preservation of public monuments in Berlin's Westend."
