Christoph Hehl

Christoph Hehl (born October 11, 1847 in Kassel , † June 18, 1911 in Charlottenburg ; full name: Christoph Carl Adolf Hehl ) was a German architect and university professor .

Life

Christoph Hehl was a son of the inspector of the higher trade school in Kassel, Johannes Hehl (1800-1884). He attended the trade school himself from 1862 to 1866, where he received his basic training in construction. Georg Gottlieb Ungewitter and Paul Zindel were among his most important teachers . After completing his military service, he went to study in England. After his return he worked in Edwin Oppler's office in Hanover, a student of Conrad Wilhelm Hase and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc . Hase also had a strong influence on Hehl. The fact that he enrolled at the Polytechnic and was a pupil of Hase is probably not true.

In 1872 Hehl founded his own architectural office in Hanover. From 1894 he worked as a full professor for medieval architecture at the Technical University (Berlin-) Charlottenburg . Hehl, himself a Catholic , was next to August Menken and Max Hasak one of the most important church builders in Berlin and designed primarily in the creatively modified neo -Romanesque style. He also worked closely with the sculptors Carl Dopmeyer and Ferdinand Hartzer and influenced many of his colleagues, such as B. Carl Schafer .

His students include the architects Heinrich Jennen (1872–1920), Stephan Mattar , Otto Lüer and Carl Kühn . Kühn completed the ongoing projects when Hehl died and is generally considered to be his successor as far as Hehl's work as a church architect is concerned.
