Anton Zengeler

Anton Zengeler , also Anton Zengler (born November 17, 1847 in Bonn ; † September 16, 1913 ), was a German architect who mainly worked in his hometown of Bonn.

Life

Zengeler grew up in a middle-class Catholic family as the son of a master roofer. In 1868 he passed his Abitur and then began training at the Berlin Bauakademie . In 1874 Zengeler passed the first state examination and was then a government building supervisor ( trainee lawyer in the public building administration) in charge of construction management at various extensions to the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn . In 1882, after passing the second state examination, he was appointed government master builder ( assessor in the public building administration) and deployed in Hanover , Hameln , Naumburg (Saale) , Torgau , Merseburg , Erfurt and Kattowitz . In 1888 Zengeler resigned from civil service and settled in Bonn as a freelance architect. Among other things, he provided essential suggestions for the new building of the Bonn Reading and Recreation Society on the banks of the Rhine, completed in 1892 .

Due to the entrepreneurial activities of his family in the Eifel , Zengeler moved there in 1896. There he devoted himself, among other things, to research into rural construction in the Eifel and the habits of its people, as well as the Kasselburg near Pelm near where he lived at the time, which he was considered to be the best expert on. Zengeler wrote a special pamphlet published in 1913 by the Rhenish Association for the Preservation of Monuments and Heritage Protection , which was drawn up in collaboration with the Eifel Association and presented to it as a festive gift on its 25th anniversary. In it, he intended to give an overview of the building history and traditional construction methods of the Eifel and to counter the prevailing view of the region as a barren landscape with a poor building stock by presenting exemplary buildings that were worth seeing.

Zengeler was one of the twelve founders of the Beethoven-Haus Bonn association founded in 1889 . He also led the restoration work on the Beethovenhaus at the time and successfully advocated minor changes instead of the proposed reconstruction of the presumed original state of the building. Today's appearance of the garden side of the Beethoven House goes back to his initiative. Zengeler was elected deputy treasurer of the association and a member of the music commission in 1894/1895 ; he remained on the board of the association until the end of his life. Zengeler was buried in the old cemetery in Bonn.

The LVR Office for Monument Preservation in the Rhineland has a Zengeler collection . It includes drafts whose connection with works carried out at the end of the 1960s was still unclear. These are chimneys, furniture, mirror and painting frames, door frames, balcony grilles, vases, candlesticks, rocailles , wall decorations, ceilings and pavilions.
