Emil Rein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emil Rein (* in the 19th century in Zurich ; † 1953 or 1954) was a Swiss architect who temporarily worked in Germany .

Life

Emil Rein studied at German universities and then continued his education in Paris . On the occasion of his marriage, he moved back to Germany. There he worked in various architectural offices - apparently in Stuttgart around 1900/1907 - before he worked in Düsseldorf as “head of one of the first studios in West Germany” from 1910 and lived in Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring 43 in Düsseldorf - Oberkassel . The author Carl Hinrichs certified Rein's buildings, which (until 1910) were mostly not known by his name, fine taste, "dignified simplicity and generous tranquility".

The location “Zurich-Düsseldorf” in 1916 makes it probable that Rein moved his professional focus to neutral Switzerland at the latest after the outbreak of World War I. There he became a member of the Swiss Association of Engineers and Architects (SIA) . In 1930 W. Bosch published the book Emil Rein, Architekt SIA Zurich, picture booklet with 62 illustrations about completed works .

Emil Rein died according to a report in the Swiss construction newspaper in 1953 or 1954.

Buildings and designs

Corp house of Rhenania in Stuttgart
At Neckartor 18 and 20 in Stuttgart

According to the publication in a portfolio , an architect “E. Rein “In 1901 he was involved in the construction of the corp house of the Rhenania student union in Stuttgart, the design of which came from the Kassel- based architect Conrad Prévôt .

In 1905, the house of the Saxonia student association was built on the property at Birkenwaldstrasse 111 in Stuttgart based on a design by Rein . The building has since been changed a lot.

The listed multi-family houses at Am Neckartor 18 and 20 in Stuttgart were built in 1904–1907 based on designs by Emil Rein.

In 1915, Rein and the sculptor Johannes Knubel took part in a competition to design a war memorial in Düsseldorf; the design was only recommended for purchase; Later, a joint design by Hermann Goerke and Hermann Nolte , who had been awarded two of three equal prizes in the competition, was carried out.

Emil Rein also designed the former Dolder wave pool in Zurich, Adlisbergstrasse 36, which was built in 1934. At that time Rein was based in Zurich-Hongg. After the wave machine designed by Escher Wyss AG and built in Great Britain broke in a "big pool" in 2006, the Dolder Resort decided not to have it repaired and instead reduced the entrance fee because the pool had lost its unique selling point anyway since the pool at Letzigraben also had artificial waves to offer. The name of the bath was then changed to "Dolder-Bad".
