Eduard Endler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard Endler (born May 11, 1860 Hanover , † May 21, 1932 in Cologne , full name: Eduard Clemens Endler ) was a German architect .

Life

Eduard Endler studied at the Technical University of Hanover , where he was a student of the neo-Gothic Conrad Wilhelm Hase . After initially working from 1883 to 1887 as an employee in the studio of the architect Christoph Hehl in Hanover, he moved to Cologne in 1888 and became an employee in Heinrich Wiethase's office . After his death in 1893 he made his own . The completion of the town hall designed by Wiethase in Gelsenkirchen by 1894 is one of his first works as an independent architect.

Although Endler was mainly involved in building Catholic churches in the Rhineland (with over 60 mostly executed designs for new buildings, extensions or restorations), his oeuvre also includes villas, settlements, commercial buildings and factories as well as town halls. In 1914 he designed the catholic church interior at the Cologne Werkbund exhibition in the main hall.

Gravesite of the Endler and Schaefer families

Endler entered into a partnership with his colleague Karl Band at the end of 1930 , probably also to ensure the continuity of the office, because his son Clemens was still studying at that time. After the death of Eduard Endler, his son entered the office, but did not resume the partnership after the war and imprisonment. Karl Band worked in Endler's war-damaged villa until 1952.

With the estate of Karl Band, a still unknown number of works by Eduard Endler came into the Historical Archives of the City of Cologne .

The architect Stephan Mattar was one of his well-known students .

Endler was married to Johanna Schaefer (1878–1966). He died in 1932 at the age of 72 and was buried in the family grave in Cologne's Melaten cemetery (corridor 72A).
