Life

Centennial Hall in Wroclaw

Günther Trauer, son of the finance accounting secretary Friedrich Franz Trauer, studied civil engineering from 1898 to 1902 at the Technical University of Dresden and the Technical University of Darmstadt . He then did his doctorate in 1907 at the civil engineering department of the TH Dresden as Dr.-Ing. with a dissertation on the topic of the cheapest belt spacing as well as the weights of articulated flux iron two-hinged arch girders with almost parallel belts . From the first decade of the 20th century he was active in the Wroclaw Building Deputation as a structural engineer and utility engineer, with the official title of urban construction inspector . In his function, he supervised the construction work of the municipality and worked with the town planning councils for civil engineering Alfred von Scholtz and for structural engineering Max Berg . In close collaboration with the latter, he created the Jahrhunderthalle, which today is considered an early example of interdisciplinary planning. He also planned the construction process with the director of the executing company Dyckerhoff & Widmann AG, Willy Gehler, and took over the construction management together with the architect Paul Schreiber.

He then planned numerous bridges and hydraulic structures. In 1925 he was elected by the city council of Wroclaw to the city ​​planning officer for urban development (planning department and member of the magistrate) and thus succeeded his former superior Alfred von Scholtz on April 30, 1925, who was forced to retire in September of the previous year. As town planning officer, he was in charge of the establishment of the sports facility in Breslau-Leerbeutel with the Schlesier-Kampfbahn designed by Richard Konwiarz and was increasingly concerned with traffic planning and urban expansion after 1928. After the National Socialists came to power , he remained in office during the town planning department Fritz Behrendt was removed from office for building construction . Trauer was made an honorary senate member by the Technical University of Wroclaw . During this time, he took over the leadership of the “Stone Roads” working group at the Research Society for Roads. On October 1, 1939, he resigned from the office of the town planning council, stating health reasons.

After the Second World War he came to the Soviet occupation zone or later German Democratic Republic , where he took part in several competitions to rebuild the cities. He settled in his hometown Dresden.
