Arnold Bruhn (born August 9, 1879 in Lütjenburg , † 1961 in Kronshagen ) was a German architect.

Life

Bruhn studied at the building trade school in Eckernförde and at the TH Darmstadt . From 1906 he worked as a freelance architect, first in Kiel , then from 1913 on in Kronshagen . In both places and in the wider area around Kiel, he built mainly residential buildings, both villas and apartment buildings, rows of houses and settlements on an urban scale. In addition, a few commercial and public buildings such as the savings bank building in Kronshagen and his most famous building, the trade union building in Legienstrasse in Kiel (1925-26) were built according to his plans.

Bruhn was a member of the Association of German Architects . He is known today not least because the then unknown architect Hermann Henselmann was one of his employees from 1926 to 1928.
