Life

Friedrich Ostendorf was born in 1871 as the son of the teacher Julius Ostendorf in Lippstadt, Westphalia. He lived in Düsseldorf from 1872 to 1877 , where his father ran the secondary school on Klosterstrasse - which later became the "Hindenburg School". After the death of his father, Friedrich Ostendorf returned to Lippstadt and attended the secondary school there from 1881 to 1890 . He then studied architecture, initially from 1890 at the Technical University of Stuttgart , where he joined the Ghibellinia fraternity in Stuttgart in 1890 . He then continued his studies at the Technical University of Hanover and finally from 1893 to 1895 at the Technical University of Charlottenburg with Carl Schäfer . Ostendorf worked as a government building supervisor ( trainee lawyer ) in the state building administration until he passed the 2nd state examination in 1899. With his thesis he won the Schinkel Prize , which made an extensive study trip possible for him. Subsequently, he initially worked independently.

In 1904 he was appointed professor of medieval architecture at the newly founded Technical University of Danzig , where he stayed until 1907. In 1907 he accepted a position at the Technical University of Karlsruhe as the successor to his teacher Carl Schäfer , where he taught design, building history and horticulture until 1914. He also worked from 1908 as a technical consultant for construction matters in the Baden Ministry of Finance. Oberbaurat Friedrich Ostendorf fell at the age of 43 as lieutenant d. R. and company commander in the 1st Baden Leib-Grenadier-Regiment No. 109 on the western front during the fighting for the Loretto-Höhe. He was first buried in the war cemetery in Lens. Two weeks later the body was transferred to Karlsruhe to be buried in the main cemetery in Karlsruhe . Ostendorf was the father of five children.
