Ewald Wegner

Ewald Wegner (born March 31, 1954 in Bad Brückenau ; died August 30, 2010 ) was a German art historian and monument conservator .

Wegner grew up in Bad Brückenau and graduated from high school there. From 1976 on he studied law, art history , classical philology and history at the University of Würzburg . There he was with a thesis on the life and work of the 1983 historicist architect Johann Gottfried Good Son (1792-1851) PhD . Gutensohn had planned, among other things, the spa house and several private houses in Bad Brückenau (see list of architectural monuments in Bad Brückenau ), which Wegner was able to prove for the first time. In his 1981 publication on "Friedrich von Gärtner and Bad Kissingen", Wegner made the finding that was important in terms of urban history public that the later important architect Friedrich von Gärtner was planning a new spa theater in Bad Kissingen in 1834 .

He then worked in the State Office for Monument Preservation Rhineland-Palatinate in Mainz. There he worked on several volumes of the monument topography Federal Republic of Germany on the city of Mainz and the district of Trier-Saarburg . In addition, he wrote scientific books and essays on local history and monument preservation topics in his hometown and in Rhineland-Palatinate up to the Hunsrück and Eifel.

Wegner died in 2010 of cancer.
