Friedrich Knust (architect)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Knust (also: Fritz Knust , born May 22, 1848 in Linden near Hanover ; † 1889 or later) was a German architect who was sometimes incorrectly referred to as Theodor Knust .

Life

The Knust 1885-1886 erected listed Today's elementary school on Linden Market in Linden-Mitte
The primary school built by Knust in 1887 at the address Stammestraße 53 in Ricklingen

Fritz Knust was born in Linden at the time of the Kingdom of Hanover . After attending school, he trained as a bricklayer and was appointed a master after his journeyman years.

From 1864 to 1869 Knust studied architecture at the Polytechnic School in Hanover under Conrad Wilhelm Hase . From 1867 to 1868, Knust was also an employee at von Hase's architectural office and worked as his draftsman for the design of the church in Fintel . One of Knust's fellow students was the architect Johann Egestorff (* 1845), with whom he was temporarily associated.

According to the address books of Hanover and Linden , Fritz Knust lived privately from 1866 to 1872 at what was then Posthornstrasse 1 , and from 1875 to 1888 at Niemeyerstrasse 1 .

In the early days of the German Empire , Fritz Knust was presumably involved in the sawmill operated by his brother Karl in Linden until 1884 .

After building tenement houses, his own residential building and a school in Linden as well as a school and the Michaelskirche in Ricklingen , Knust was “[...] not [anymore] able to complete the [Ricklinger] church, the architect Christian Heine took over the construction and completed “them. In the meantime, Knust officially announced himself on December 1, 1888 at his birthplace Linden and moved to Hameln , where he initially lived with the Fricke family and then with the Pietsch family on Ostertorwall . However, Knust did not officially register with the city until October 1, 1889.

The address book of the city of Hameln for the year 1890 listed a "Knust, architect". The address books of the years 1891 and 1892 could not be viewed by the Hameln city ​​archive , Knust was no longer recorded in the address book from 1893.

Confusion with Theodor Knust

Fritz Knust was in various publications with Theodor Knust (* 1860; † October 6, 1910). The latter lived in Ricklingen all his life. Presumably he went through an apprenticeship in the field of construction, which is why Theodor Knust was sometimes inaccurately referred to as " master builder ". In the address book Hannover u. Around 1901 , Theodor Knust was referred to as a brickworks administrator and in the death register of the parish of St. Michaelis and also in the signpost through the St. Michaelis parish of Ricklingen from 1928 as the "brickworks owner". However, his name is not known either in the "Hanover Building Collection" or in the list of Hase students.

However, Theodor Knust, together with the brickyard owners and the Stamme brothers, was the founder of the chapel of the Michaelisfriedhof in Ricklingen - and, like the Stamme brothers, was buried in the crypt of the chapel. In the course of a renovation of the building, the "[...] rather crumbling coffins [...] were buried next to the chapel in spring 2011".

Knuststrasse and Wittekindstrasse

According to Andreas-Andrew Bornemann, the Knustsche Sägemühlenwerk was initially located at Falkenstrasse 34 , which was renamed Davenstedter Strasse 14 around 1869 . The elementary school at Lindener Markt, built according to Friedrich Knust's plans, is said to have been built on part of this property . Knuststrasse , already laid out in 1874 in what is now Hanover's Linden-Mitte district , was renamed Wittekindstrasse in 1892 , allegedly after the Duke of Saxony, Widukind , but possibly also “[...] after Count Wittekind von Schwalenberg , who lived in Linden between 1115 and 1119 Court held and issued the document with the first mention of the place “.
