“Berlischky Pavilion” in Schwedt

Georg Wilhelm Berlischky (* probably 1741 in Märkisch Buchholz ; † January 27, 1805 in Schwedt / Oder ) was a Prussian architect and margravial building clerk .

Berlischky was appointed as a master builder by the Swedish margrave Friedrich Heinrich on December 1, 1772 , but he was probably already working there as a building inspector . He was responsible for all buildings including the dams and bridges of the Schwedt-Wildenbruch rule. During his tenure, all rural houses were repaired to such an extent that there were no more serious construction defects. In the area of ​​the Schwedt manor house, he converted the orangery built by Martin Heinrich Böhme in the palace garden into an operetta house. Between 1774 and 1776, the town hall in Schwedt, which had been robbed of the bell tower by a storm, was demolished and replaced by a new building. However, most of the structures he built were destroyed in World War II. Only the French Reformed Church, built between 1777 and 1779, survived the war and has been called the " Berlischky Pavilion " after its builder since the renovation in 1984 .

In 1780 Berlischky married Johanna Henriette Louise Käwermann . The marriage gave birth to two daughters, born in 1781 and 1784, and son Friedrich Heinrich Wilhelm in 1787.
