Life

tomb

Heinsius von Mayenburg studied with Ernst Giese at the Technical University of Dresden . From 1898 he can be verified as an architect in Dresden. In 1918 he fell ill with "head flu" (a form of encephalitis ), which made work difficult or even impossible for him. This disease occurred more frequently as encephalitis lethargica as a result of the Spanish flu. The timing and symptoms speak for this disease. It is said that he was killed by his family doctor at his own request. He is buried in the Tolkewitz urn grove .

In Dresden he was a member of the municipal art committee for several years.

He published his first, primarily decorative, work in the magazine German Art and Decoration . He was involved in the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis ( Louisiana Purchase Exposition ). For the International Hygiene Exhibition in Dresden in 1911 , he designed the overall composition of the amusement buildings. In addition to these “light” buildings, villas in Dresden and Riesa as well as a school in Pulsnitz and two residential and commercial buildings in Finsterwalde have been handed down from Mayenburg's creative period.

Far better known, however, is the garden city of Marga , which was commissioned by the Ilse Bergbau AG welfare company . The first residential buildings were erected there from 1907. In addition to the Marga colony, von Mayenburg also built a factory colony for FC Th. Heye Braunkohlenwerke on the Heye III pit (today: Heide-Siedlung) near Wiednitz . In 1914, AEG commissioned the Berlin architectural office of Walter Klingenberg and Werner Issel with the overall planning for the Zschornewitz power station, and they outsourced part of the planning to Heinsius von Mayenburg.

Georg Heinsius von Mayenburg was the brother of Ottomar Heinsius von Mayenburg , the owner of the Leo-Werke and inventor of the Chlorodont toothpaste. Together with his son Maximilian Heinsius von Mayenburg, he planned the redesign of his brother's residence, Schloss Eckberg in Dresden.
