Carsten Mannhardt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carsten Mannhardt (born June 7, 1930 in Amsterdam , Netherlands ; † April 14, 2020 ) was a German architect and former president of the Lower Saxony Chamber of Architects .

Life

Carsten Mannhardt grew up in Berlin before he came to Hanover as a teenager shortly after the end of the Second World War in 1946 . There he completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter and then studied architecture at the Technical University of Hanover .

From 1957 Mannhardt initially worked as a salaried architect before going self-employed in 1964. His main focus was on planning school buildings, health facilities, industrial buildings and residential complexes.

In 1971 Mannhardt became a member of the Representative Assembly and the Board of Directors of the Lower Saxony Chamber of Architects , and in 1974 he was elected President as successor to Friedrich Lindau . The 16 years in this office were characterized in particular by the work on the grassroots in the regions, the introduction of the pension scheme, the adaptation of the Lower Saxony Architects Act to the EU Directive , the implementation of the first architects' day, which was held as part of the construction trade fair, Constructec as well as the amendment to the Lower Saxony building code in 1984.

After Mannhardt had initially acquired the building at Hindenburgstrasse 26 for the Chamber of Architects, its later sale enabled the move to the Laveshaus as the new seat of the Chamber.

In 1995 Mannhardt resigned his mandate at the representative assembly, but continued to work in the Chamber of Architects on the Board of Trustees of the Foundation for the Promotion of Young Professionals.
