Eugene Fabricius

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eugen Fabricius (born October 29, 1871 in Ballersbach , Hessen-Nassau, † February 18, 1960 in Bad Godesberg ) was a German architect .

Life

Fabricius was born the son of a pastor. After graduating from the humanistic Lessing-Gymnasium in Frankfurt am Main , he studied architecture at the technical universities in Darmstadt, Stuttgart and Berlin. In 1901 he graduated with the second state examination. In the same year he joined the state and municipal building authorities. In 1903 he settled in Cologne as a freelance architect, where, among other things, he was responsible for the design of the Villa Schröder .

In Berlin he was Otto Rieth's assistant in the construction of the Palais Staudt, the city palace of the merchant Wilhelm Staudt. This activity brought him in 1903 the contract awarded by the Cologne banker Louis Hagen in a competition for the Hagen house. With its construction, Fabricius became known throughout Germany. Other villas and single-family houses followed in the Rhineland, in Berlin, Munich, Witten and Griesheim. In Troisdorf and Unna-Massen, workers 'and miners' settlements were built according to his plans.

From 1906 he was a member of the Association of German Architects (BDA). He was the founder and chairman of the Rhineland district and the Cologne branch. After the end of the Second World War , he was actively involved in rebuilding the association structures and was appointed honorary chairman at the founding meeting of the North Rhine-Westphalia regional association in April 1948.
