from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Carl Florian Goetz (born July 4, 1763 in Ottweiler ; † June 23, 1829 in Wiesbaden ) was a German architect , town planner and construction officer . He was the father of the architect Theodor Goetz .

He possibly received his training from Friedrich Joachim Stengel in Saarbrücken . From 1789 he was employed as a building inspector for the Nassau building administration in Wiesbaden and was appointed building director in 1803.

In 1804 Goetz was entrusted with the planning of a city expansion and in 1805, after numerous petitions, Christian Zais became an employee. In 1806 he presented the "general plan for the expansion and beautification of the city". Based on the new construction of "Friedrichsstraße", the plan also showed an "Alleestraße" running at right angles to it, the later Wilhelmstraße .

For Nassau, which had just become a duchy, Goetz and Zais planned the expansion of Wiesbaden into a modern spa and residence town. The concept of the complete redevelopment of the Wiesbaden, which was still medieval at its core, which was further developed by Zais and presented in 1818, formed the basis for the expansion of the city and is now known as the Historical Pentagon .

Both also oversaw the dismantling of the secularized monasteries in the Rheingau. Goetz used parts of the equipment from Eberbach Monastery , for example. B. for the design of the Mosburg and the Protestant Church in Wehen .

In 1817 Goetz was appointed state master builder.
