Vita

Ernst Berhard Lohrmann began his studies in Göttingen in 1821 with the subjects philosophy and camera art at the University of Göttingen and from 1823 at the University of Berlin. He soon concentrated on studying at the Berlin Building Academy. In 1827 he graduated as a surveyor in Berlin.

After completing his studies, he worked as a building inspector until he left for Finland in 1841. In the process, he left some traces on his work in Berlin: He planned and implemented a comprehensive new construction program for the management of the Berlin clinic facilities. His other works in Berlin include the preserved main building of the veterinary school (1840) in Luisenstrasse, a representative example of the so-called classical architecture school Schinkelska and a suspension bridge in the zoo.

Now staying in Finland, he succeeded Carl Ludwig Engel as director of the administrative office of the Finnish building authority and in 1867 became general director of the overall organization. During its time, Finland experienced a radical change in architectural style from classicism to historicism . Lohrmann's activity was productive, but views on his architectural directions are divided.

As an architect, Ernst Lohrmann was a proven specialist in the design of churches and public buildings.
