August Dieckhoff

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

August Dieckhoff (born June 6, 1805 in Stettin ; † March 10, 1891 in Bonn ; full name: Carl Christian August Dieckhoff ) was a German architect and Prussian construction clerk .

Life

August Dieckhoff studied at the Berlin Bauakademie since the second half of the 1820s . As early as 1827 he became a member of the Berlin Architects' Association , in whose monthly competitions he repeatedly took part or gave lectures to members. In 1844 he passed the master builder examination. In the meantime he worked for Karl Friedrich Schinkel as a conductor at his old town church in Königsberg (1836). From 1845 he can be verified as a private master builder in Berlin, and during this time he also carried out construction work for government agencies, for example in 1853 for the Ministry of Justice . In 1855 Dieckhoff received his appointment as a master builder.

While being promoted to building inspector at the same time, Dieckhoff was transferred to Bonn in 1857 to work as a university master builder to expand the structural facilities of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität . During his 14-year creative phase in Bonn, the gynecological clinic and the chemical institute as well as the drafts for the new anatomy, which were carried out under his successor Jacob Neumann, were created. Dieckhoff also built several churches; only the Villa Troost is known of private buildings . After numerous changes of ownership and renovations and extensions, it has served as the (since 1994 second) official and residence of the Federal President of the Federal Republic of Germany since 1950 . In 1871 Dieckhoff was transferred as head of the Aachen district building inspection . There he retired on April 1, 1887 as a district building inspector.

Dieckhoff was stylistically influenced by Friedrich August Stüler , Heinrich Strack and Karl Friedrich Schinkel, in whose environment he was active at an early age. This was already evident in his participation in the AVB monthly competitions in the early 1830s and continued in his Bonn work.

Dieckhoff was born with Caroline since 1854. Gutzkow, widow of the city surgeon Heinrich Christian Bungenstab and older sister of the writer Karl Gutzkow , married. The actor Hermann Haack was his adopted son.

Börsch-Supan apparently mixed up the vitae of two different Dieckhoffs in her short biography. The one who worked in Bonn and Aachen finally retired as a district building inspector in 1887, while after Börsch-Supan he was also a secret senior building officer and lecturer in the Ministry of Commerce in 1877.
