Carl Friedrich Gottlob Beisbarth (born February 7, 1848 in Stuttgart , † August 30, 1903 in Stuttgart) was a Württemberg architect of regional importance who built private buildings in Stuttgart in the historicist style. His father Carl Beisbarth sen. also worked as an architect.

Life

Beisbarth jun. was the fourth child of the architect Carl Beisbarth sen. (1809–1878) and his wife Karoline Beisbarth geb. Schwarz (1822-1887). r was born in Stuttgart at Tübinger Strasse 19, where the family lived in their own house. He had five sisters and two brothers, one of whom Carl Julius Beisbarth (1844–1881) also took up the architectural profession.

Education and professional life

Nothing is known about Beisbarth's childhood and youth. In 1858 the Beisbarth family moved into a rented apartment at Hauptstätter Strasse 61, which Carl also lived in until 1876. He studied at the Polytechnic in Stuttgart, where he probably met his future brother-in-law and partner, Richard Nübling , who was four years his senior , possibly also through his membership in the Ghibellinia fraternity , which Nübling had co-founded in 1862. In 1870 he took part in the Franco-Prussian War , from which he returned unharmed. After the war he went on a long educational trip to Italy before settling in Stuttgart as an architect.

In 1875 Carl Beisbarth sen. and his sons Carl and Julius, with whom he ran an “architectural studio”, under the name “Carl Beisbarth and Sons” in the Stuttgart address book. In the address book of the next year, Carl Beisbarth sen. und jun., both with the profession architect, managed separately, but at the same address. Apparently, Carl wanted to establish himself as an independent architect. As early as the next year, 1877, he moved into his own apartment at Sophienstrasse 18, where he lived until his father's death in 1878. It can be assumed that he also worked with him until his father's death.

Beisbarth was employed as site manager for the new building of the state library in the years 1878–1886. In 1884 or 1885 he was accepted as a building inspector in the higher Württemberg state service, possibly due to his successful work as a construction manager. However, he continued to work as a freelance architect, partly together with Richard Nübling and Jakob Früh.

Beisbarth and Lusthaus

When, after the fire in the New Lusthaus , which had been converted into a theater, a discussion was held in 1902 about what should happen to the ruins, Carl Beisbarth jun. the article The Lusthaus and its builders Georg Beer and Heinrich Schickard . He identified the busts held by his father in prominent places in the pleasure house - Georg Beer on the front gable and the figure on the staircase gable as Heinrich Schickhardt - which must have been made around 1592. Beer (* 1527) was then 65 and Schickhardt (* 1558) 34, which corresponded perfectly to the people depicted. Beisbarth demanded - like some other Würtembergers interested in history and art - to rebuild the pleasure house; “What has been said gives a concept of the ingenious structure of the building industry which can rightly be called a document of German art; it really deserves to be handed down to posterity. For us Swabians this should not only be a matter of heart and feeling, no, it should be seen as a matter of honor to relieve the burden of vandalism by rebuilding the building. That this reconstruction is possible can be seen without a doubt from my father's conscientious photographs, to which the numerous remains, which would have to be used in the reconstruction, can contribute theirs. "

End of life

Beisbarth lived at Sophienstrasse 2 A from 1884 until his death. He was not married and died at the age of 55 on August 30, 1903. He was buried in his parents' grave at the Fangelsbach cemetery in Stuttgart.

plant

Beisbarth was mainly active as an architect of private buildings. He did not erect any public or sacred buildings. Two cases are known in which he took part in competitions to build a church or a town hall:

  • In 1885 he took part in the church building competition Munich St. Paul . His neo-Romanesque design was one of the four award-winning entries, but was not built.
  • In 1895 the Beisbarth & Früh partnership took part in the public competition for designs for a new town hall in Stuttgart . Of the 202 entries submitted, seven were prizewinners and six were purchased. The purchased contributions also included the design by Beisbarth & Früh and the only other Stuttgart contribution by L. Eisenlohr & C. Weigle .

Independent works

Beisbarth's first two dated buildings were built in 1890:

  • A large five-storey corner apartment building on a slope in Stuttgart, on the corner of Heusteigstrasse 46/48 and Sophienstrasse 2.
  • A representative, three-storey villa of the manufacturer C. Gross in the so-called “villa colony” in the then high-altitude health resort Degerloch at Nägelestrasse 10.

In total, Beisbarth built at least four buildings alone, one together with Richard Nübling and eleven with Jakob Früh.

Beisbarth & Nübling

The engineer Richard Nübling (1844–1908) married Beisbarth's sister Maria Luise Beisbarth (1845–1886) in 1873. From 1873 he lived with his family in Hopfgarten in Tyrol and from 1880 at the latest in Ulm. In 1891 he returned to Stuttgart.

It is not known how long the architectural association Beisbarth & Nübling existed. The only known building that Beisbarth and Nübling built together is the residential and country house of Major von Luck in Stuttgart- Degerloch from 1893.

Beisbarth & Früh

St. Peter and Paul in Oberkochen

It is not known under what circumstances Jakob Früh (1867–1937) from St. Gallen came to Stuttgart. It is possible that Früh, who was almost 20 years younger than Beisbarth, studied at the Polytechnic and then stayed in Stuttgart. Beisbarth shared an office with Früh from 1898 until his death, first at Fritz-Elsas-Strasse 32, and from 1900 at Leuschnerstrasse 13. Together they built at least eleven private houses in Stuttgart and were responsible for the designs of the one inaugurated in 1900 neo-Romanesque St. Peter and Paul Church in Oberkochen .

In 1901, Beisbarth and Früh built the first reinforced concrete building in Stuttgart at Hoppenlaustraße 11, which was also Robert Bosch's first factory building. The building was in today's Bosch area and no longer exists.

From 1898 to 1900, Beisbarth and Früh published a set of tables with “templates of executed exemplary buildings” (see illustration). The series consisted of 12 deliveries with a total of 96 large-format blackboard illustrations. Each of the 48 objects was described in the text and presented with a floor plan and a full-page photo and elevation. The collection was dominated by buildings in Stuttgart (42 of 48), and nine of the buildings in Stuttgart were by Beisbarth, Beisbarth & Früh and Beisbarth & Nübling. Both the work itself and the buildings on display also served to advertise the Beisbarth & Früh architectural association.

reception

The Allgemeine Künstlerlexikon (AKL) only devotes an article to the father and mentions his two sons Carl Julius Beisbarth and Carl Friedrich Gottlob Beisbarth with their biographies and their profession as an architect.

The eminent Stuttgart architect Christian Friedrich von Leins said of Carl Beisbarth: "Carl is a very talented, capable man who, I believe, can be entrusted with the matter."

A dozen preserved private buildings in Stuttgart still bear witness to Beisbarth's work. Although he built a large part of the houses together with his colleague JaKob Früh, he was not given an article in the Allgemeine Künstlerlexikon (AKL) like this one . Almost twenty years younger, Früh also built large public buildings and factories in Stuttgart, including numerous administrative and factory buildings for Robert Bosch , the Wilhelmsbau and the former Robert Bosch Hospital.
