Emil Hagberg
Emil Hagberg (born September 3, 1862 in Lidköping , Sweden ; † November 29, 1921 there ) was a German- Swedish architect of historicism . His work includes exhibition buildings, public buildings and residential buildings in Germany and Sweden.
Life
Hagberg, the son of a master dyer , studied architecture from 1881 to 1885 at the Royal Technical University in Stockholm and from 1886 to 1888 at the Royal Technical University of Charlottenburg . During his studies in Stockholm he worked as a designer for various architectural offices, including a design for a university building in Uppsala .
After completing his studies in Charlottenburg, Hagberg was employed as an architect in various Berlin offices, including from 1891 to 1894 with Alfred Messel . As a freelance architect living in Friedenau , he took part in numerous architectural competitions in the following years .
After he was stripped of the second prize in the competition for the Rheydt Town Hall in 1894 because foreigners were not allowed to participate according to the competition rules, Hagberg also took on Prussian citizenship . In the competition for the Kunstgewerbemuseum Cologne , he received first prize in 1896 for his neo-Gothic design “Am Rhein”, but the second-placed design was implemented by Franz Brantzky . In the same year he also took part in the competition for the Provincial Museum in Hanover. In 1898 he was commissioned to plan the German Book Trade House in Leipzig , which he designed in the neo-renaissance style. In 1901 he designed the new building for the Murhard library in Kassel. Hagberg's neo-Romanesque design for Vasakyrka in Gothenburg was the basis for Yngve Rasmussen's 1902 plans .
Around 1905 Hagberg settled in his native Lidköping for health reasons. There he was appointed "city architect" in 1906, but continued to work as a freelance architect. Until his death, several public buildings and numerous residential houses were built there based on his design.
Hagberg's estate is in the municipal museum in Lidköping.
