Fritz foot

Fritz Fuß (civil: Friedrich Karl Wilhelm Wolf ; * July 12, 1889 in Wiesbaden ; † April 27, 1945 in Berlin ) was a German architect in the first half of the 20th century.

Life

Foot studied at the School of Applied Arts in Dresden with Wilhelm Kreis , whose staff he was and with whom he after 1908 Dusseldorf relocated. Around 1910/1911 he was associated with Willy Dietsch in Düsseldorf. He designed the tea house for the German Werkbund exhibition in Cologne in 1914 in Wilhelm Kreis' studio . From 1914 to 1918 he took part in the First World War as a soldier .

Between 1919 and 1936 he worked as a freelance architect in Cologne, then in Berlin. Like many architects from the Dresden school and the office of W. Kreis, he tried a symbiosis of tradition and modernity, whereby the architecture is usually characterized by strong plasticity and a special affinity for sculpture. During his time in Cologne, Fritz Fuß was one of the city's most recognized architects.

In 1928, Fuß was a founding member of the 'Block Kölner Baukünstler', a member of the Association of German Architects and the German Werkbund . When the city in the Battle of Berlin by Soviet troops was captured, he committed in 1945 on 27 April suicide .
