Eugen Behles (* 1846 in Uhlbach near Cannstatt ; † September 28, 1919 in Söcking near Starnberg ) was a German architect .

Life

Behles studied at the Stuttgart Polytechnic and later in Munich, where he opened a “Atelier for Architecture and Applied Arts” at Türkenstrasse 97.

In 1898 he was mentioned in the “address book of contemporary visual artists”. He was married to Helene Dobel from Haunstetten and was a member of the Munich artists' cooperative . He represented “architecture” in the jury of the 1908 Munich annual exhibition in the Glaspalast .

Behles country house in Söcking

According to the obituary in the Monacensia , Behles is buried in the Munich North Cemetery. His own clapboard-clad, wooden house at Prinz-Karl-Strasse 38 in Söcking has survived.

Eugen Behles' earliest work was an extension of the chapel of the deaconess institution in Arcisstraße 33 in 1874.

A sketchbook has been preserved in the family from his long trip to Italy in which a “palace portal in Lucca” was dated February 4, 1876.

Behles preferred three-dimensionally moving facades with richly structured decorations in the neo-renaissance style, as in his 1897 design for an apartment building at Gabelsbergerstraße 36 or Schillerstraße 36. He liked to decorate the main views with cornices and crowns made of hewn stone. In 1897, not far from his place of work in Rambergstrasse 8, he planned a stately corner house “with a high degree of street dominance.” The rustic structure of the ground floor, the stucco work, and the bay windows with a view of Kurfürstenstrasse have stood the test of time. At the house at Steinheilstrasse 1 near the Technical University, the roofs and frames of the facade have fallen victim to renovation. As you pass through the courtyard, you can still see the old wooden gate wings carved with reliefs from the central perspective.

In 1883 Behles exhibited his sketches for the Church of St. Gertrud in Hamburg, fountain designs for Lindau and a “design for a dining room in a casino” on the north wall of “Cabinet 38” of the international art exhibition in the Glass Palace on Sophienstrasse.

A “very good design for the Maximilian Church” came from him and was shown in the 1888 Munich anniversary exhibition. The two sheets were presented in the vestibule of the Glass Palace with a design for the “Scheuermann Building in Munich”.

Behles showed a “pretty villa-like house” at the annual exhibition in the Glass Palace in 1893. It was the property of the art collector Ludwig Schmederer.

Behles' plan for the extension of the Palais Lotzbeck

In 1896 Eugen Behles designed the extension of Palais Lotzbeck , the predecessor of the Munich America House , Karolinenplatz 3.

In 1904 he developed a plan in neo-Romanesque style for the Protestant Christ Church in Füssen . In 1906 Behles acted as treasurer of the “ General German Art Cooperative ”.

His neat buildings from the turn of the century can be found in the Munich hinterland, such as the villa of the painter Ludwig Scheuermann , the Villa Esser in Bernried or the house for the government director Rasp in Starnberg.

The former estate of Hofrat Dr. Hilger at Seeweg 7 in Pöcking "with three-storey Belvedereturm to the lake" has been preserved unchanged.

In Landsberg , the house in Spöttinger Straße 19, designed in 1905, stands "in a classicist Art Nouveau style."
