He was instrumental in the reconstruction of the Paulskirche in Frankfurt in 1947/1948.

Life

After attending the higher building school in Stuttgart, Schaupp completed a degree in architecture at the Technical University of Stuttgart , which he graduated in 1919. He then worked in various architectural offices in the Stuttgart and Frankfurt area, before setting up as a private architect in Frankfurt on January 1, 1925. He worked with city planning officer Ernst May , who led the activities around the city planning program Neues Frankfurt and exerted corresponding influence on Schaupp. At the end of the 1920s, Schaupp often took part in competitions and won the first competition to expand the Reichstag building in 1927 .

Buildings and designs

An architecture competition was announced for the Achalm pool in 1927, for which 127 designs were submitted. Together with the chief engineer L. Volk, who is based in Giessen, as a specialist consultant, Schaupp created three designs or design variants, all of which were positively assessed and awarded by the jury: with a 3rd prize, a purchase and a proposal for purchase. The construction carried out in 1928 is based on these designs.
