Gustav Gebhardt

Board for the construction office Gustav Gebhardts

Gustav Gebhardt was a German architect in the 19th and 20th centuries. Century (* around 1870, † after 1949). Numerous buildings, some residential buildings and some commercial buildings, were built in Berlin according to his plans. Some of his buildings are now under monument protection.

Life

Gustav Gebhardt studied at the Technical University of Charlottenburg . He then found a job in the Althertum & Zadek architectural office in Charlottenburg . During the time he worked for this office, Gustav Gebhardt was already making his own designs.

In the meantime (mid-1899) he lived and worked in Budapest , where he designed a residential and commercial building for a construction company and participated in the construction.

Gebhardt went into business for himself around 1910. He moved into an apartment in the house of the architect S. Zadek (Fasanenstrasse 13) and continued to run the office under his name. Max Alterthum and S. Zadek had meanwhile moved their studio for architecture and construction to Taubenstrasse 23 in Berlin and appointed a managing director.

Residential development Parkaue 24–34 in Berlin-Lichtenberg

In 1926 the Berlin address book shows him to have an apartment in Berlin-Lichtenberg , Parkaue 6. It was located very close to Gebhardt's construction office ( Parkaue 10 ) and the residential development Parkaue 24–34, which was built according to his plans.

From 1927 Gustav Gebhardt neither had an apartment nor an office in Berlin or was not listed in the address book. The manager J. Gebhardt was responsible for the multi-family residential building Parkaue 6 between 1930 and 1934, and it is very likely that it was a close relative of the architect.

The reconstruction of the church in Kienitz , which was badly damaged in the Second World War, began in 1951 according to the design and under the direction of an architect Gustav Gebhardt , about whom no details are known.
