Life

Franz Haeberlin, the son of the royal building officer Johann Heinrich Haeberlin , attended the Berlin Academy of Architecture from 1864 . In 1867 he passed the first state examination with distinction and took part in the monthly competitions of the Architects' Association in Berlin with designs for various current tasks . His drawings from the years 1869 and 1870, with floor plans, elevations and plans for an island pavilion and a public park, are kept in the architecture museum of the Technical University of Berlin . In 1871, Haeberlin passed the master builder examination after being awarded the Schinkel Prize in March of the same year in the competition of the Berlin Architects' Association for the design of a music academy .

After completing his training, Haeberlin initially got a job in the military building administration and was in charge of the construction of the Berlin Victory Column designed by Heinrich Strack on Königsplatz, today Platz der Republik . In 1873 he was entrusted with the construction management of the Prussian Principal Cadet Institute in Groß-Lichterfelde , which comprised various buildings , until in October 1876 he was appointed to the Palace Construction Commission in Potsdam, which Reinhold Persius headed as director from the same year. In 1878 he was appointed court building inspector and in 1885 court building officer.

In the palace building commission "all of the royal palaces and buildings in Potsdam were subordinate to him, and there is none of them in which he did not make changes and new designs" . His tasks included managing the construction of the burial chapel designed by Ludwig Persius in the Church of St. Peter and Paul on Nikolskoë in 1877 and, in 1879, the renovation of the arched arbor over the moat near the Roman baths in Sanssouci Park using iron construction.

For many years he was occupied with the decades of restoration and modernization work in the New Palace , the Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, who later became Emperor Friedrich III. , from 1859 in the summer months and his son, Kaiser Wilhelm II , lived annually from Easter to Christmas. He was also commissioned to design the marble gallery used for family celebrations for the marriage of Princess Marie of Prussia with Heinrich von Orange-Nassau . Haeberlin designed the altar structure in 1878 and converted the hall into a chapel for the occasion.

Haeberlin also worked with his own designs outside of the New Palace. In 1884/1885 he changed and expanded the former guard building from the time of Frederick II , the so-called south gate building , which was converted into a castellan's house south of the Communs . The New Marstall to the west of it was also built between 1889 and 1894, which served as a riding arena until 1918 and is now used by the University of Potsdam as an auditorium maximum .

Franz Haeberlin died suddenly in 1899 as a result of a heart attack and found his final resting place in the Bornstedt cemetery . His wife Fanny nee were later also found in the common grave. Braun (1854–1920) was buried and, of his three children, the second-born daughter, the painter Margarete Rudolphi and her husband, the landscape painter Johannes Rudolphi .
