Erdmann Schmid

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Erdmann Heinrich Schmid (born August 25, 1778 in Wernigerode , † 1845 in Weißenfels ) was a German builder .

Life

He was the son of Graflich-Stolberg-Wernigerödischen consistorial councilor, superintendent and court preacher Johann Friedrich Schmid (1729-1811) and his second wife Auguste Elisabeth born. Rudinger. The later Prussian general Gustav Eduard von Hindersin (1804–1872) was his nephew.

The previous conductor Schmid was appointed master builder by Count Christian Friedrich zu Stolberg-Wernigerode on March 26, 1802 and succeeded Carl Mildreich Barth . Like him, he was given responsibility for building construction in the county of Wernigerode and in the Hohnstein Forest.

In spring 1815 he received the call to go to Coelln as a volunteer engineer . At the same time, a promotion to royal engineer was connected with it, so that on May 16, 1815 he asked for the ongoing construction business to be accepted, which was approved. At the end of 1815 it became clear that Schmid would no longer return to Wernigerode as a master builder, so that on December 13, 1815, he was officially allowed to leave. In the meantime he had been promoted to royal Prussian engineer lieutenant. In 1816 he was construction inspector in Erfurt and from 1818 in Weißenfels .

He designed the former society house (later “House of Young Pioneers ”) in Zeitz , which was completed in 1831 . Two former customs houses in the classicism style in Zeitz am Kalktor were also built in 1841/42 based on his designs. Schmid was one of the architects who directed the classicist renovation of Naumburg. In 1834/35 he had the gatehouses built at the former Salztor in Naumburg (Saale) according to his plans .

Schmid was involved in the preservation of monuments. In 1819 he was a founding member of the Thuringian-Saxon History Association for research into patriotic antiquity and the preservation of its monuments , which was to quickly gain national importance. In 1840 Schmid created a list of monuments for the Weissenfels, Naumburg, Zeitz and Eckartsberga districts, in which he fully recorded the larger medieval buildings in the region.

After his death, the building inspector Adolph Kramer applied for his position as building inspector in Weißenfels.
