biography
Rosenberg was the son of a chemist. He graduated from high school in Glückstadt and studied architecture at the Technical University of Munich from 1931 to 1933 . He then worked as an office intern at Wilhelm Hallbauer in Hamburg in 1934 . He then served for a year in the Reichswehr in Rendsburg . He continued his studies at the Technical University of Berlin under Heinrich Tessenow and passed the main diploma examination in 1937 , after which he received his doctorate in engineering. He worked as a working student at Walter Löffler and Julius Schulte-Frohlinde . From 1938 to 1945 he worked as an architect in the urban planning department of the housing association of the Reichswerke Hermann Göring in Salzgitter . From 1939 to 1941 he took part in the Second World War as a soldier and was wounded in 1941. He then worked in Herbert Rimpl's office on the design of the Südbahnhof in Berlin and in 1944/1945 on the reconstruction planning of Wuppertal .

City planner in Bremen
In 1949 Rosenberg moved to Bremen and, on the recommendation of the Bremen city and state planner Wilhelm Wortmann and Heinrich Bartmann, worked as an urban planner in the reconstruction department of the Senator for Building. In 1955, he became the technical director of the senate building administration as senior building director. In 1964 he was appointed Senate Building Director and then Senate Director and deputy to Senator Wilhelm Blase . In 1970, when Hans Stefan Seifriz was Senator for Construction, he retired. He then worked as chairman of the urban planning committee for the Bremen Chamber of Architects until 1975 . He was a member of the German Academy for Urban Development and Regional Planning (DASL) and chairman of the Bremen Development Association .
Rosenberg had a major influence on the reconstruction of Bremen in the post-war period : He campaigned for the tram in the old town to be relocated from Domshof to Violenstrasse . He designed the first plans for a pedestrian zone as an "axis of joy" between the Bürgerpark and the Teerhof . As early as the 1960s, he proposed a bridge with shops in the style of the Ponte Vecchio at the level of the Martini church . He emphatically refused to widen the street Am Wall . In his time, however, the Breitenweg / Rembertiring high road, which he subsequently criticized, was also realized. He was an advocate of the unrealized Mozart route , as a city car road through the quarter and the new town to relieve traffic in the Bremen city center. This route triggered a heated debate in Bremen from the end of the 1960s, which led to the route planning being rejected in 1973/1974.
