Andreas Friedrich Wilhelm by Hanno

Andreas Friedrich Wilhelm von Hanno (born December 15, 1826 in Hamburg ; † December 12, 1882 in Christiania ) was a German-Norwegian architect , sculptor , painter and graphic artist .

Career

After his school education, he did his artistic training as a graphic designer, sculptor and architect from 1840 to 1849 at the “ Hamburg Society for the Advancement of Arts and Useful Trades ”. Of particular importance was his studies with the architect Alexis de Chateauneuf from 1843 to 1848 and his first assignment at the main church Sankt Petri in Hamburg. From 1850 Wilhelm von Hanno and Chateauneuf went to Christiania (Oslo) as site manager. When Chateauneuf fell ill, he continued his projects as an architect and stayed in Norway for the rest of his life . There he built a number of important and monumental buildings, many together with Heinrich Ernst Schirmer. He designed the well-known motif of the Norwegian "post horn stamps" , the oldest permanent stamp series in the world, which has been in circulation since 1872.

Struve arch

At the Struve Arch , Hanno designed the meridian monument in Hammerfest in the Fuglenes district in 1854 (completed in 1856), where the first international survey of the earth was commemorated. Today the meridian column in Hammerfest is a symbol of the northernmost city of Norway, as well as the northernmost end point of the Russian-Scandinavian meridian arc of this elongated network of geodetic surveying points . The monument was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005, along with the Struve Arch . The Struve Arc extends from Hammerfest to the Black Sea , the measurements of which were carried out in 1816–1855 by German Baltic astronomer Wilhelm von Struve (1793–1864).

Trinity Church in Oslo (Trefoldighetskirken) , 1858

Wilhelm von Hanno together with Heinrich Ernst Schirmer

Heinrich Ernst Schirmer and Wilhelm von Hanno's proposal to build the new parliament building won the competition in 1856. But it was ultimately rejected by parliament.

Wilhelm von Hanno entered into a business partnership with his compatriot and architect Heinrich Ernst Schirmer . Schirmer and von Hanno together built the Trefoldighetskirken (Dreifaltigskirche) in Oslo (completed around 1858), the construction of which was originally initiated by Alexis de Chateauneuf . In the years 1853 to 1864 they built the first train stations in Norway, along the Hovedbanen (1853-1854) and Kongsvingerbanen (completed in 1863). The reception buildings they built had a major impact on Norwegian wooden architecture in the country's rural areas. They also carried out a number of military constructions, such as the expansion of Akershus Fortress (1858–1870). He also worked with him to design the district prison in Larvik , the development at Kirkegata 24, a main building for the Norwegian credit bank (Den norske Creditbank) and a hotel building in Dronningens Gate , which was built from 1860 to 1913. Your planned building in neo-Gothic style for the new Norwegian parliament won the architectural competition, but was ultimately not built because it was decided in favor of the design by Emil Victor Langlet . The collaboration broke up around 1864 when von Hanno's design won an architecture competition to build the Greenland Church.

Wilhelm von Hanno married Maria Theresia Pallenberg (1827–1898) in 1859. They were the grandparents of the Norwegian artist Carl von Hanno .
