Emil Felix

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emil Felix (* 1875 in Switzerland; † 1941 ibid.) Was a Swiss architect who also had offices in Germany from 1909 ( Aachen ) and no later than 1922 ( Cologne ) until 1933. He stood out above all by its buildings for the cigarette - manufacturing family Neuerburg and the German bank .

Life

After the study of architecture at the Technical University of Munich and the Technical University of Charlottenburg Emil Felix first urban architect was in Berlin and then in Lübeck. In 1907 at the latest he was in Aachen, where he worked on the one hand as assistant to the university professor Simon at the Technical University of Aachen and on the other hand also managed his private office. In 1909 he went into business for himself in Aachen. At the beginning of the 1920s, Felix moved to Cologne, where he ran an architecture office until 1933. He also ran an office in Lucerne . Emil Felix was a member of the Association of German Architects (BDA), the German Werkbund (DWB) , the Architects and Engineers Association in Berlin and the "Aachener Erholungsgesellschaft". He had a long friendship with the Aachen art historian Max Schmid-Burgk .

Emil Felix created castle-like properties for his clients , which appeared anachronistic in their way at a time when the Bauhaus and New Building were enjoying success.
