Bruno Biehler
Bruno Alexander Biehler (born July 19, 1884 in Freiburg im Breisgau ; † March 24, 1966 in Munich ) was a German skiing pioneer and later worked as an architect mainly in Munich, Upper Bavaria and Linz .
Life
Bruno Biehler's parents were the Freiburg merchant Rudolf Biehler and Lina Biehler, nee. Groenewald, from Pyrmont, who ran a clothing store on Kaiserstrasse . His brother Rudolf Biehler was born on April 18, 1882 in Freiburg and was later also a well-known skier, he became a doctor and died in the First World War.
From the summer semester 1907 to the winter semester 1909/10 Bruno Biehler was enrolled at the Technical University of Munich in the subject of architecture. " Mosaic " is noted as religious affiliation in the student register.
He then worked first for Theodor Fischer , then for city architect Karl Höpfel on the new construction of the Maximiliansgymnasium .
After passing the 2nd state examination, Biehler undertook a one and a half year trip through Asia. Starting in November 1913 in Trieste with the steamer Africa , he visited Ceylon, India, Burma, Java, China and Japan and returned to Freiburg with the Trans-Siberian Railway via Moscow in June 1914. He made more than 600 black and white slides of buildings, the landscape and the local population on 9 × 12 cm glass plates, which have been preserved in his estate (for a selection see web links and exhibition catalog). On May 11, 1914, he managed what was probably the first single-handed winter ascent of Mount Fuji , which was also documented with photos.
The First World War began shortly after returning from Asia. Bruno Biehler was a platoon leader in the 1st Bavarian Snowshoe Battalion of the German Alpine Corps .
After the end of the war, the registration from Freiburg to Munich took place in 1919. According to the birth register, he was married twice, his first wife in 1928 was Johanna Neresheimer, who came from a Munich goldsmith and jeweler dynasty, and the second marriage took place in 1947 in Bad Wiessee .
In Munich he was a member of the Rotary Club (founded in 1928, removal of Jewish members from the card index in 1933, self-dissolution in 1937, re-establishment in 1949).
In addition to architecture, winter and mountain sports and photography, Biehler was also drawn to painting and drawing and made music with his friend Carl Orff . He also had a close friendship with the landscape planner Alwin Seifert .
Skier
Like his brother, Bruno Biehler was initially a member of the Freiburg Ski Club. Both later (Bruno 1904) joined the Academic Ski Club Freiburg, founded in 1903. In 1908 he was the overall winner of the first German Championships in Nordic Combined (individual military patrol competition), also in 1909. At the 1st Austrian Ski Jumping Championships in 1907, the brothers Rudolf and Bruno Biehler as well as Viktor Sohm from Bregenz and Dr. Karl Gruber from Munich did a sensational double jump from the Schattbergschanze in Kitzbühel . At the first Allgäu ski championships in 1910, still on the old Oberstdorf ski jump on the Halden , the predecessor of the Schattenbergschanze (today Erdinger Arena ), Bruno Biehler became champion in jumping with 21 meters and since 1909 he also held the hill record with 22 m.
In 1905/06 Bruno Biehler joined the Academic Ski Club Munich (ASCM, also Asem; founded as the academic section of the Black Forest Ski Club , most of the founding members came from a circle of friends in Freiburg im Breisgau ; Fritz Todt was also a member of ASCM) and was chairman its hut association. According to his design, the Grünseehütte (today's Uli-Wieland -Hütte of ASCM near the Grünsee in the Spitzingsee area) was created for the association .
architect
After his studies and a traineeship in the public building administration, Bruno Biehler passed the 2nd state examination to become a government architect. However, he soon became self-employed and worked freelance in Munich in the 1920s and 1930s. By the end of the 1920s at the latest, he was also a member of the Association of German Architects (BDA). From around 1938 onwards, Biehler and other Munich architects worked under the direction of Reich Building Councilor Roderich Fick on the construction of the so-called “Führer Settlement” in the Upper Austrian “ Führerstadt ” Linz (“ Fuhrer's godfather ”).
