Ernst Bode

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Bode (born May 10, 1878 in Nürtingen ; † May 27, 1944 in Breslau ) was a German architect , construction clerk and university professor . From 1920 to 1934 he was the building department of the city of Essen , from 1934 he taught as a professor for urban architecture at the Technical University of Wroclaw .

Life

Ernst Bode was born the son of a senior official geometer. After attending the secondary school in Nürtingen and the grammar school in Rottweil , he worked as a locksmith and fitter to prepare for studying mechanical engineering. From 1897 he studied mechanical engineering and then architecture at the Technical University of Stuttgart under Theodor Fischer, among others . He passed his first state examination to become a government architect ( assessor in public construction) and worked for the city of Rottweil. His second state examination followed in 1908 in building construction. He then worked as an assistant to Paul Bonatz at the Technical University of Stuttgart and the Württemberg State Railway .

In 1912 Bode moved to Gelsenkirchen , where he was responsible for the new building department under city building officer Max Arendt. After the First World War , he returned to Gelsenkirchen in 1918, where he worked from 1919 to 1920 as head of the new building department for the city of Gelsenkirchen. From 1920 it chose the city council of the city of Essen for Assistant Secretary for the building construction department. He built many office, school and functional buildings in downtown Essen based on his own designs. In 1934 he was “pushed out of office as building department” by the new rulers. One reason for this was that Bode had also built a Jewish mourning hall in the Essen park cemetery . The mayor, Theodor Reismann-Grone , appointed by the National Socialists , wrote about Bode's departure: "It is not a great loss for the city [...] of urban planning he [Bode] understands almost nothing". Bode resigned from the city of Essen and took up a professorship for urban architecture at the Technical University in Breslau, where he taught architecture and urban planning.
