Fernando Lorenzen (born August 8, 1859 in Hamburg , † May 10, 1917 in Altona ) was a German architect who made his appearance primarily through numerous church buildings in Hamburg.
Life
Lorenzen studied architecture with two of the most important church builders of the 19th century, first with Conrad Wilhelm Hase at the Hanover Polytechnic and then with Hase's student Johannes Otzen in Berlin. Lorenzen was shaped by Hase and Otzen in the sense of the neo-Gothic architecture represented by them, which was used in the second half of the 19th century as a style of historicism , especially in north German church construction. As a foreman in the construction, designed by Otzen Altona Church of Peace in 1893 to Hamburg, where he returned Lorenzen in connection independently made.
After winning the competition, Fernando Lorenzen was able to realize a large number of churches in Hamburg. Initially shaped by the neo-Gothic school of his teachers, he gradually broke away from historicist building forms and finally turned to new tendencies in reform architecture , which also made a breakthrough in Hamburg shortly before the First World War . His last church building, which was only completed after his death, the Eilbeker Reconciliation Church, is already characterized by simple forms and brick cladding , which can now be understood in the context of homeland security architecture .
In addition to his work as a church builder, Lorenzen built a large number of stately villas in Hamburg's Elbe suburbs , which corresponded entirely to the contemporary sense of style at the turn of the century. He was significantly involved in the development and development of the villa area Hochkamp . During the First World War , Lorenzen died in the neighboring Hamburg city of Altona in 1917 after a biliary operation at the age of 57. He was buried in the Nienstedten cemetery . With Lina Lorenzen born Mine (1870–1952) had three children.
A street in Hamburg's Jarrestadt is named after Lorenzen .
