Carl Heinrich Ferdinand Streichhan

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Heinrich Ferdinand Streichhan (born January 20, 1814 in Zehdenick , † June 19, 1884 in Jena ) was a German architect and construction clerk and in 1848 succeeded Clemens Wenzeslaus Coudray (1775–1845) as chief building director of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . All public construction companies were thus under his responsibility. This did not only apply to the designs, which by no means came from him alone, such as B. the New Museum Weimar , but also the financing and planning of construction companies.

life and work

Carl Heinrich Ferdinand Streichhans completed an apprenticeship as a surveyor after attending grammar school in Neuruppin from 1832 to 1833, before studying architecture at the General Building School in Berlin from 1833 to 1835 , also with Friedrich Schinkel , which was also mentioned in the obituary from 1884.

From 1837 to 1848 he worked in the Prussian civil service. Design work for the penal institution in Racibórz comes from this time . 1844–1848 he was a department engineer at the Thuringian Railway Company in Erfurt . a. In 1846 the construction of the Vieselbach viaduct , the construction of the reception building of the Erfurt train station in 1846/1847 and that of the Eisenach train station were completed. The development plan for the northern extension of Weimar in 1852/1853 was also largely developed by him.

Its architecture is more in the style of historicism than that of classicism . During these years he shaped the building activity in the city and the surrounding area of ​​Weimar, but was also of national importance. He remained associated with the architecture of the Prussian school after Karl Friedrich Schinkel throughout his life.

The court architect Otto Minkert took over the construction management for some of these buildings . Streichhan mainly took on government building tasks. After the death of Coudray in 1845, this included taking over the management of the Grand Ducal Saxon Building Trade School in Weimar , which he held until his death.

Streichhan's house in Weimar is located at Belvederer Allee 5, which he had built himself in 1861/62. It has been in use at the Bauhaus University Weimar since 2011 . From the 1850s the area of ​​his activity was concentrated in the immediate vicinity of Weimar.

Buildings and designs

(Selection)

  • 1841: Competition design for a water tower (for the "monthly competition" September 1841)
  • 1854–1859: Barracks in Weimar , called "Weimarer Akropolis ". A street that leads to this building bears his name. The name Weimar Acropolis for this building in historicist style should be understood as a reminiscence of the Acropolis in Athens , since this building, like the ancient Athens district, defines the highest and most prominent points above the city, which are visible from afar.
  • 1857: Draft for a church tower in Kunitz near Jena . The Canitz location (unsecured attribution ) found in a database is probably due to a reading error.
  • 1859–1860: Reading Museum (Nike Temple) on Goetheplatz in Weimar. Its building went back to Maria Pavlovna . This gave the reading society she founded in 1830 its domicile.
  • 1860–1862: Russian Orthodox Chapel in Weimar, which was attached to the back wall of the Weimar Princely Crypt . In 1860 a representative building was built based on his design, which is now the mon ami youth and cultural center at Goetheplatz 11 .
  • 1865–1868: Grand Ducal District Headquarters in Apolda (today Police Station Bahnhofstrasse 23)
  • 1873–1878: Marstall in Weimar (today another location of the main state archive )
  • 1880: Construction of the former Higher Regional Court in Jena , August-Bebel-Straße 4
  • 1883–1885: Secret Main and State Archives and Saxony-Ernestine General Archives (today Main State Archives Weimar), Beethovenplatz 3 in Weimar. This is the last building designed by Streichhan.

Honors

In addition to the aforementioned naming of a street after him, he was awarded the Order of the Star for Commander's Cross of the Saxon-Weimar House Order of Vigilance or the White Falcon in 1883 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his service .
