Eduard Linse before 1900

Eduard Linse (born July 15, 1848 in Kohlscheid , † December 8, 1902 in Aachen ) was a German architect of historicism .

Live and act

The Aachen architect Eduard Linse was mainly active in Aachen in the 19th century in secular , sacred , administrative and spa building . His works are commissioned buildings and testimonies to historicism. In the years 1870/1871 he took part in an "annual course at the polytechnic school in Aachen". In the summer semester of 1872 he was reciprocated with the Landsmannschaft Teutonia , the later Corps Teutonia-Hercynia Braunschweig . Linse relocated his architecture office on July 1, 1887 from Kaiserallee (today Oppenhoffallee ) 6 in Burtscheid to his residential and commercial building at Bismarckstraße 65.

Eduard Linse built the neo-Gothic - neo-Romanesque St. Jakob Church according to the plans of Heinrich Wiethase and based on the Rhenish transition style from Romanesque to Gothic . Today's Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum , the Villa Cassalette , named after the builder Eduard Cassalette, the grandson of the founder of the Aachen scratching factory Cassalette , Peter Joseph Cassalette, was built between 1883 and 1888 in the historicist style of Neumanierism . For the exterior design, he took over the facade of the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice . Twelve years later he designed a similar complex with three floors but six axes in a neo-baroque style. He laid out the Suermondt bank symmetrically with a mirror-image carriage entrance.

Characteristic of Linses residential buildings are rusticated ground floors with the adjoining about Beletage . The decorative elements could be ordered from a catalog. With his Burtscheider Kurhaus, Linse set a contemporary counterpart to the New Redoute built by Jakob Couven in downtown Aachen.

In addition to his professional obligations, Linse promoted the Aachen music scene in a variety of ways. He was a member of the Rhenish Music Festival , the municipal music and theater committee, the recreation society and chairman of the instrumental association. Before it was incorporated into Aachen, Linse was also a city ​​councilor in Burtscheid .

Eduard Linse died on December 8, 1902 as a result of a stroke at the age of only 54. His funeral took place three days later.

Rich stucco is part of the interior decoration . The house probably suffered damage during World War II . Today the undersides of the balcony are smoothly plastered and a modern mansard roof forms the top.
  16. ↑ The first draft from April 1896 envisaged the exterior facade in French neo-renaissance, the second revised from June 1896 was kept simpler. A corridor with a set staircase divided the individual floors in a north-south direction into two living and sleeping areas. In the north of the ground floor this access corridor ended on an open terrace. The front rooms each opened into a corner bay window. The corner gables had a half-timbered construction. The corner tower on the west side was crowned by a pointed pyramid roof. The colorful shingles of the and the dwelling in the central axis were characteristic. The Villa Erica was demolished in the 1970s. (Dauber, p. 122)

The 5.50 m high spire formed the architectural harmony with the villa. Hipped roof and dormers were part of the exterior appearance of the porter's house. Expanded after the Second World War and used as a residential building since 1985.
