plant

Between 1910 and 1939, Schopohl mainly built residential buildings in a businesslike unadorned design. It can be attributed to the so-called “conservative modernity” (cf. Paul Schmitthenner , Heinrich Tessenow , Paul Bonatz ).

Schopohl's buildings were characterized by the gesture of modesty, solid craftsmanship and a traditional appearance. His biggest assignment was to rebuild the town of Goldap in East Prussia, which was destroyed in 1914, between 1916 and 1921.

Fritz Schopohl was a member of the German Werkbund (DWB) and the Association of German Architects (BDA). From 1928 to 1935 he led the architecture class at the Berlin School of Applied Arts.

"In contrast to many of his contemporaries, he succeeded during the National Socialist era in developing an independent architectural language that managed without the usual traditionalist or homeland style features."
