Ernst Pethig
Ernst Pethig (born December 27, 1892 in Lemgo ; † April 7, 1956 there ) was an architect and painter .
Pethig's parents owned a lingerie shop in Lemgo. He graduated from high school in Lippehof in 1913 and began studying at the Technical University in Munich . With the beginning of the First World War in 1914 he was drafted. The following year he was badly wounded and largely lost his hearing. In 1916 Pethig was able to continue his studies at the Technical University of Hanover , which he graduated with a diploma in 1921.
Pethig settled in Lemgo as an independent architect. The house of the Kleßmann family, built on the Slavertorwall between 1929 and 1931, is one of his most important buildings and is considered to be the only example of modern building from the 1920s in Lemgo and the surrounding area.
The city of Lemgo has named a street after him.
