Friedrich Wilhelm Dunckelberg

Friedrich Wilhelm Dunckelberg , also: Dunkelberg (born November 3, 1773 in Görzke ; † February 12, 1844 in Neustrelitz ) was a chamber engineer (engineer of the court chamber ) and master builder in Mecklenburg-Strelitz .

biography

After finishing school, Dunckelberg learned the subject of construction and perfected his knowledge under the supervision of chief building officer Philipp François Berson and building inspector Bernhard Matthias Brasch during the reconstruction of the city of Neuruppin, which burned down in 1787 . He then attended lectures by the Oberbaudepartement , later the Berlin Building Academy , where Friedrich Gilly , Jacob Wilhelm Mencelius, Johann Albert Eytelwein and Joachim Ludwig Zitelmann were his teachers. In 1795 he passed his exam as a surveyor , but did not take the architectural exam that would have allowed him to work in the building trade. After that, Dunckelberg was transferred to the Magdeburg War and Domain Chamber , which, however, had hardly any work for him. In 1798 he agreed to accept a job in New East Prussia , but nothing came of that. Finally, in 1801, he successfully applied for a position as a chamber engineer (surveyor) in Mecklenburg-Strelitz . In 1806 he was promoted to master builder and worked only a little in the building trade alongside Christian Philipp Wolff and his son-in-law Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel from the 1820s.
