history

Lower Saxony construction works

Following the example of the Cologne cathedral construction works , the Lower Saxony construction works was initially founded in 1860 on the construction site of the Christ Church in Hanover as the forerunner of the “white sheet” . In addition to Hase, the founders were the architects Ludwig Bähr, Wilhelm Hauers , Franz Ewerbeck, Wilhelm Lüer , Adelbert Hotzen and Franz Andreas Meyer . The aim of this predecessor was the implementation of "holy Christian German art", i.e. the (new) Gothic , especially after the Hanover architecture school founded by Hase . But the goal was missed: Not least because of the rigid rules, numerous members emigrated.

Established in 1880

With the establishment of the white sheet building works on November 29, 1880, students, craftsmen, painters and sculptors were also accepted.

The neo-Gothic had meanwhile gained in reputation, but the competition between the different styles, architecture schools and architects steadily increased. The motto of the Bauhütte on the white sheet should counteract this:

Equality in art! Friendship in the hut! Truth in art! Hold on to the old!

In the early years of the Bauhütte, architecture competitions were held internally and buildings and construction drawings were published. A study foundation was also set up. The first chairman, the leading master , was Conrad Wilhelm Hase. He was followed by the architects and university professors Karl Mohrmann and Friedrich Fischer , the art historian Georg Hoeltje and the building historian Günther Kokkelink .

On behalf of the Bauhütte Gustav Schönermark published the magazine Die Architektur der Hannoversche Schule from 1888 to 1895 . Modern works of architecture and applied arts in medieval style .

In 1894 Max Leben founded a subsidiary in Breslau together with Gustav Pulver , Rudolf Ramm , Hermann Wolfram and the Hamburg architect and painter Emil Maetzel , and in 1896 Hauers and Meyer founded one in Hamburg .
