The Kießling brothers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kießling brothers were the joint construction company and design office of the two master builders and architects Kießling in the first half of the 20th century in the Saxon town of Lößnitz, north-west of Dresden, today the Radebeul urban area.

Act

The master builder and architect Ernst Leopold Kießling (born November 22, 1873 in Kötzschenbroda ; † January 4, 1951 in Radebeul ) and the master builder Edmund Walter Kießling (born May 4, 1875 in Kötzschenbroda; † July 2, 1948 in Leipzig or Radebeul), Sons of the Kötzschenbrodaer blind manufacturer, contractor and master builder Friedrich Ernst Kießling , founded their joint office, Gebr. Kießling, Architects BDA and Master Builder, Kötzschenbroda-Dresden, together with their own construction company.

The joint office was initially on Meißner Straße 37 (Ernst Kießling's house, today Meißner Straße 253), then on Gradsteg 9 (on the side street of the villa property) and since 1924 in Landhaus Rosa on today's Meißner Straße 254, the Simultaneous residence of Edmund (formerly as Meißner Straße 13c). The area has been cleared since the 2000s and newly built with a supermarket and its large parking lot. In addition to their joint work, the brothers also worked individually; Ernst in particular appeared early on as a designer and site manager for his father. The company went out after the Second World War.

The two brothers were particularly honored for many of their early works at the exhibition of the Loessnitz villages in 1909.

The two brothers Ernst and Edmund Kießling are both buried in the Radebeul-West cemetery, whose funeral chapel, originally from 1874, was replaced by a new building in 1913. Edmund lies in a tomb with the topographer Robert Mittelbach, who is related by marriage .
