Bernhard Sehring (born June 1, 1855 in Edderitz , Anhalt ; † December 27, 1941 in Berlin ; full name: Ernst Bernhard Sehring ) was a German architect .

Life

Sehring came from a middle-class, rural environment and was the son of a Dessau site manager. He retired to Professor Happach and attended grammar school and art school in Dessau. From 1873 to 1875 he studied at the Braunschweig Polytechnic , then four semesters of architecture at the Berlin Building Academy . During his studies he became a member of the Academic Association Motiv . In the years 1877/1878 he was an intern with the architect Karl Hoene in Halle (Saale) . Bernhard Sehring served his military service year as a one-year volunteer in 1878/1879. In 1879/1880 he undertook a study trip to Italy to examine the local theater architecture and garden architecture.

Shortly after he was accepted into the Berlin Architects' Association, he received the Schinkel Prize in 1882, his first architecture prize for his designs for the Berlin Museum Island . In 1883 he received the Great Academic State Prize .

As a state scholarship holder in Rome (1883 and 1884), he took part in an international theater building competition for the first time and opened the Peters und Sehring architectural office in Berlin-Kreuzberg with Ernst Peters . In 1889 he ended this partnership and from 1890 worked as a freelance artist and architect.

Sehring became known for his designs, especially competition designs, theaters and other new buildings. At first he even ran the Theater des Westens in Berlin-Charlottenburg as a GmbH with his partner Paul Blumenreich; however, the attempt was financially unsuccessful. 1907–1921 he built the Roseburg near Ballenstedt ( Harz ) as his family's summer residence .
