Life

Elingius studied architecture in Karlsruhe and Munich from 1898 to 1902 . From 1902 to 1904 he worked in Hermann Billing's office in Karlsruhe.

In 1904 Elingius joined the Hamburg architects Frejtag & Wurzbach , which was founded in 1887 and operated as Frejtag & Elingius from 1910 . Here he founded a tradition of upscale single-family house construction inspired by English models, which was valid for decades.

Elingius was a member of the German Werkbund and promoted the association for four-country art and local history, founded in 1901 as one of the first homeland protection associations . He mainly designed brick facades with classicistic details and thus tended towards the conservative. But he was also open to classical modernism, as can be seen in some housing developments and, for example, in a positive report on the controversial Landhaus Michaelsen by Karl Schneider .

In 1921 Gottfried Schramm entered the office; the partnership took place after the death of Leon Frejtag in 1927 with the short name Elingius & Schramm . The main areas of work were single-family houses (villas, country houses), office buildings and publicly funded housing construction.

In 1939 Konstanty Gutschow's office was commissioned with expert opinions and partial drafts for the plans for the redesign of Hamburg as part of the “ Führerstadt ” program (including a draft for a passenger facility on the north bank of the Elbe).

After the Second World War, it continued its activities with administration buildings, single-family houses and apartment buildings. However, Elingius' membership in the NSDAP led to the withdrawal of the design contract for the seat of the British military administration, the later Grindel high-rise buildings , and the attempt to re-establish the Association of Hamburg Architects also failed.

When Erich Elingius died in 1948, Gottfried Schramm continued the working group with his son Jürgen Elingius , who had already joined the office pro forma as a junior partner in 1939. The new partnership was abbreviated as Schramm & Elingius . The office still exists today.

Erich Elingius was buried in the Nienstedten cemetery.
