from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guillaume d'Hauberat (* around 1680, † 1749) was a French architect and builder of the Baroque who was involved in numerous stately secular buildings in Germany.

Life

Guillaume d'Hauberat was a student and collaborator of the architect Robert de Cotte . He brought him to Bonn in March 1716 to support the building projects for the Cologne Elector Joseph Clemens of Bavaria and replaced Benoît de Fortier in this role . From July of that year, d'Hauberat held the office of site manager for the electoral residence palace , which is now the seat of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität . In addition, under his construction management, the Zum Sack courtyard on Bonn's banks of the Rhine was expanded into a city ​​palace (later Clemenshof and Plettenberger Hof ). From 1721 d'Hauberat was the head of the entire electoral building industry and in this position was involved in the work on the castle in Brühl in 1724 . Before that, he was involved in the construction of Clemensruhe Castle in Poppelsdorf as early as 1718 , which was built according to de Cottes' plans. After the elector's death in November 1723, d'Hauberat left Bonn, although he had married the daughter of the electoral councilor Steinmann there.

In 1726 he followed the call of court architect to the Palatinate Elector Karl Philipp von der Pfalz in Mannheim , where Guillaume d'Hauberat, as successor to Johann Clemens Froimons, continued the construction of the Mannheim Palace , which his predecessor had begun , and completed its palace church in 1731. Around 1733 he also worked as a construction manager for the Stadtpalais der von Thurn und Taxis in Frankfurt am Main , which he carried out from Mannheim. He then worked from 1738 to 1740 for Prince Karl August von Nassau-Weilburg in the construction of the new Kirchheimbolanden Palace . At the site of a previous building, d'Hauberat built a three-wing complex with a courtyard and a park to the east .

After the death of Alessandro Galli da Bibiena , d'Hauberat became chief building director in Mannheim in 1748 and in this capacity completed the dome of the Mannheim Jesuit church begun by his predecessor . Another building project with Guillaume d'Hauberat as a participant was the Schwetzingen Palace as the summer residence of the Palatinate electors.
