Eduard Titz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anton Eduard Titz (born August 25, 1820 in Reichenberg in Bohemia , † January 22, 1890 in Berlin ) was a German architect who designed numerous public buildings for Berlin and other German locations in the 19th century or who led their construction. He had mainly specialized in theater buildings.

Life

After childhood and adolescence with school attendance in his homeland, Titz acquired artistic and technical skills in Bohemia. In 1839 he came to Berlin and dealt extensively with the buildings of Karl Friedrich Schinkel . He found a job in Eduard Knoblauch's studio . Influenced by the classicist buildings of Schinkel, Titz set up as a private builder in 1840 . In 1850 he traded as a "civil engineer, studio for architecture and training institute for architects and builders ". At that time he lived at Charlottenstrasse 99. On behalf of business people, he designed and built hotels , especially cultural buildings for the city, as well as residential buildings for property owners. By 1855 he had moved into a new home at Louisenstrasse 22. According to the entry in the address book, he was now an engineer and owner of the studio and the school. Titz had probably given up his educational establishment by 1861. This year the address book simply says “master builder”, which is what an architect is according to today's understanding . Until 1865, Titz chose an apartment for his family on Schiffbauerdamm 23. In 1880, he announced his new residence at Charlottenstrasse 5 on a New Year's card designed together with Max Titz (brother or son?). After Eduard Titz's death, Felix Titz , probably a son, continued the business. In the address book under the address Charlottenstraße 5 you will find “Atelier for architecture, construction, decoration, applied arts; Inh. Felix Titz, master builder ”.
