Eduard Jüngerich (born September 13, 1872 in Verviers , Belgium ; † May 13, 1935 in Berlin-Wilmersdorf ) was a German architect , town planner and construction officer . Between 1913 and 1930 he shaped the structural development of the industrial city of Oberhausen .

Life

After the Athenaeum grammar school in Verviers, Jüngerich attended the secondary school in Bielefeld . There he graduated from high school in 1892. Then he began studying at the Technical University of Karlsruhe . In the same year he moved to the Technical University of Hanover , where he studied architecture with Conrad Wilhelm Hase and Karl Mohrmann . He changed his place of study again by moving to Aachen . There and in Cologne he worked for various architects during the semester break. At the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen he graduated in 1896 with the Grand State Examination. A work that was awarded a state prize enabled him to travel through Italy for three months . Until 1897 he worked for a few months in Munich , where he was employed by Emanuel von Seidl and Theodor Fischer in the municipal building department. In 1897/1898 he did military service in Munich as a one-year volunteer . In 1899 he was employed in Düsseldorf as a government construction manager in the state building administration and in 1902 promoted to government master builder. In 1903 he was transferred to Berlin ; then he worked in the same position and rank in Kassel until 1907 . In 1907 he joined the city of Rixdorf (today Berlin-Neukölln ) as a town planning inspector under Reinhold Kiehl . In the following year he became a city ​​planner in Opole . On September 8, 1913, under Berthold Otto Havenstein, he was elected councilor and town planning officer of Oberhausen . On July 3, 1925, he was re-elected. He was retired on May 21, 1930. At the end of 1933 he moved to Berlin-Wilmersdorf (Sächsische Strasse 24) with his wife and daughter. The move to Berlin was preceded by his release from civil servant status on the basis of the Professional Civil Service Act in 1933 .

Jüngerich's importance for the urban development of Oberhausen lies in the initiation of comprehensive urban planning, the concepts of which he developed in close cooperation with the architect Ludwig Freitag , who was appointed around 1920 . On old industrial areas, which had already undergone a planning conversion at the beginning of the 20th century , they developed squares, buildings and green spaces in the forms of brick expressionism and new building , which became Oberhausen's landmarks.
