Ernst Giese (architect)
Ernst Giese (born April 16, 1832 in Bautzen , † October 12, 1903 in Charlottenburg ; full name: Ernst Friedrich Giese ) was a German architect and professor at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and at the Technical University of Dresden ; he carried the titles of "Building Councilor" and (Royal Saxon) "Privy Councilor".
Live and act
Giese grew up as the second son of Carl Christian Giese (1786–1861) and his wife Johanna, née Fiebinger, in Bautzen. There he attended high school. He then studied at the Dresden Polytechnic and at the Dresden Art Academy , among others with Hermann Nicolai . From 1855 to 1858 Giese stayed in Italy on a travel grant for study purposes.
After the trip to Italy, he returned to Dresden, where he ran a joint architecture office with Bernhard Schreiber . In 1866, Giese accepted a call as professor of architecture at the Düsseldorf Art Academy . He carried out this function part-time. In Düsseldorf his wife Gertrud, née Barteldes, gave birth to their first son Max Eduard , who became a landscape painter , in 1867 , and in 1871 their second son, Friedrich, who later joined his office in Dresden as an architect. Since Düsseldorf did not offer the opportunities that he had hoped for, he returned to Dresden in 1872 and initially teamed up with the architect Friedrich O. Hartmann. In August 1873 he brought Cornelius Gurlitt into his Dresden office for a short time . In 1874 he separated from Hartmann and worked for the following 17 years with Paul Weidner (1843–1899) (Giese & Weidner) .
In 1878 Giese was appointed full professor of architecture at the Dresden Polytechnic (from 1890: Dresden University of Technology), and he held this teaching position until autumn 1900. The joint architecture office with Weidner existed in parallel until 1891, from then on Giese worked with his son Friedrich (Giese & Sohn) . Evidence of the professional reputation that Ernst Giese earned as an architect and university lecturer is also his appointment as a full member of the Prussian Academy of the Arts in 1892 . After his retirement in 1900, Giese moved to (Berlin-) Charlottenburg, where he died in 1903.
The architect Julius Graebner was one of his students in Dresden .
