biography

Abbehusen was born in Bremen in 1875 as the son of a sculptor and plasterer. He studied architecture and settled in Bremen after graduating. From 1903 to 1919 he worked with Otto Blendermann in the Abbehusen und Blendermann office . His best works, such as the Christ Church in Woltmershausen , the Blumenthal town hall , the Bremer Schauspielhaus ( theater on Goetheplatz ) or the school on Carl-Schurz-Straße ( House Vietor ) date from this period . Although the architectural community had achieved a high reputation, Abbehusen and Blendermann parted ways after the First World War , when construction work came to a standstill until the mid-1920s. In contrast to Otto Blendermann, August Abbehusen was subsequently unable to re-establish himself in a similar way. He then worked mainly in residential building until 1939 and died in Bremen in 1941.

Abbehusen and Blendermann were not specialized in certain construction tasks, but designed and a. Residential and country houses, churches, a town hall, sports and club buildings or even a village hall. Their conception of architecture was shaped by the classicism of the time around 1800. Their style has a regional, thoroughly Biedermeier expression, which flourished in the period before the First World War and with which one can still, almost timelessly, the prosperity and at the same time the Hanseatic restraint associated. Abbehusen had a very fine sense of proportion, which is particularly noticeable in the simple works of the office. Putti and garlands like to decorate the light-colored plastered facades of your buildings, the Blumenthal town hall with its echoes of the Dutch Baroque is an exception with its clinker brick facade. A contemporary aptly described the reason for their appreciation in Bremen in 1910 as follows: “In Bremen, however, where you encounter the old at every turn, you cannot let its modernity take flight. Here you have to submit to the character of what is available. "
