from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Heinrich Tramm - sometimes: Heinrich Christian Tramm - (* 8. May 1819 in Harburg , † 3. September 1861 in Hannover ) was a German architect , who in Hannover from 1850 to truss - arched style ( "Tramm style") introduced .

Life

After studying at the Higher Trade School / Polytechnic School in Hanover from 1835–38, Tramm continued his studies with Friedrich von Gärtner in Munich from 1838–40 and returned to Hanover in 1841 to work for Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves in the court building sector:

The still-preserved horse stable in Georgengarten (1843/44) is his first independent work in Hanover and was designed as a red brick building in the arched style "in deliberate contrast to the classicist preliminary design by Laves (1841)" .

After a long time as a construction manager at the Hoftheater, today's Hanover Opera House , he was responsible for the machinery and decoration. Around 1850 he began with the typical round arched frame style. A year later, in 1851, Tramm co -founded the Hanover Architects and Engineers Association , which was launched by members of the Hanover Art Association : A painting by Tramm's wife Emma was created by his friend A. Kreling in 1851–1852.

Tomb in the garden cemetery

In 1855 Tramm was appointed court architect and in 1856, the youngest of his kind, received the order from King George V for the Welfenschloss , the new residence in the Welfengarten. In the same year the court painter Friedrich Kaulbach made a painting by Tramm. Tramm in turn built a studio for the painter and the "Villa Kaulbauch" in Waterloostrasse from 1857.

After Tramm's death in 1861, the still incomplete Welfenschloß was completed by his brother-in-law Eduard Heldberg and - after the fall of the Welfs in 1866–1875–79, it was expanded by Hermann Hunaeus into a technical college (today: university ).

Son Heinrich Tramm , who later became city manager, was only seven years old when Christian Heinrich Tramm and his wife died of an illness (probably pulmonary tuberculosis) in 1861. Her grave is in the garden cemetery in Hanover.
