Gustav Hamann (born June 4, 1852 in Satow (Fünfseen) ; † March 3, 1919 in Schwerin ) was a German architect, a secret building officer and a Mecklenburg construction officer.

biography

Haman was a son of pastor Heinrich Christian Elias Hamann and his wife Sophie Marie Friederike Elise Schünemann. He married Anna Henriette Marianne Evers on October 25, 1880 in Hohen Mistorf near Teterow , the daughter of Pastor Johannes Evers. They had nine children.

Hamann grew up in Satow and Hohen Mistorf, where his father was a pastor. He attended high school in Güstrow , but had volunteered as a primary school student for military service in the Franco-German War of 1870/71. After a serious wound, he returned unfit for service in the spring of 1871. Gustav was only able to go to school again at Easter 1872 and then take his Abitur in 1873.

After an internship with the Dargun district master builder Wilhelm Stern in the summer of 1873, he studied architecture with Günther von Neureuter at the Royal Bavarian Polytechnic in Munich for four semesters and then went to Stuttgart for another three semesters , where he studied with Christian Friedrich von Leins at the local university .

The examination certificate of the Grand Ducal Examination Commission dated March 23, 1877 noted the grade Good . Immediately afterwards he was assigned to the Rostock State Building District to provide assistance as a construction manager in Wismar . There he worked in 1877 under the direction of the architect and master builder Carl Luckow as a site manager on the restoration and conversion of the Fürstenhof .

His affinity for the Neo-Renaissance and its regional characteristics, the Johann Albrecht style, originates from this time . The need for representation of the young grand ducal house in Mecklenburg-Schwerin has also been used by some architects to reflect on the Johann Albrecht style. The neo-renaissance in Mecklenburg mainly referred to the use of terracottas , fired modeled clay plates, on public and private buildings. One of the main representatives of this direction was the later secret building officer Gustav Hamann.

In September 1879 he registered for the second, practical test for those who are enthusiastic about construction in Schwerin, which was to take place in April 1880. On October 1, 1879, he was transferred to the building district Grevesmühlen to help the local master builder Hesse. After passing the exam, Hamann was transferred to the provisional administration of the Lübz building district on October 1, 1880, with the appointment of building manager. After reforming the building administration in Schwerin, Gustav Hamann was from 1881 as head of building district IX, responsible for agriculture in the offices of Lübz and Wredenhagen. He received his first order from the Dobbertiner monastery master, Count von Bernstorff, with an extension on the southeast corner of the cloister of the cloister building in the Dobbertin monastery after confirmation by the state parliament on November 17, 1880 in Malchin . He presented the cracks and notices with the decorative gable to the monastery administrators on February 15, 1881 in Dobbertin.

According to a report by the new monastery captain Wilhelm von Oertzen, the extension was completed on November 15, 1882 at the state parliament in Malchin using molded stones in the medieval style .

On July 7, 1882, the Mecklenburg-Schwerin Ministry of Finance proposed a promotion to master builder in recognition of his hard-working and hard work . But first, as a master builder, he was commissioned, from October 1, 1882, to provide assistance to the building councilor Georg Daniel in Schwerin, who himself was responsible for the reconstruction of the burned down court theater . At that time the officials in the Schwerin ministries seemed to have worked with fussy accuracy . When Hamann moved from Lübz to Schwerin, his bill was criticized because the distance between Parchim and Schwerin by rail was not 78 kilometers, but only 76 kilometers. He was deducted 22 pfennigs in vehicle fees.

From October 1, 1882 to 1886, he worked as a construction manager together with Carl Raspe and construction officer Georg Daniel on the reconstruction of the Schwerin court theater that had burned down . The complicated building ground problems in the swampy terrain of the Old Garden were overcome with the introduction of 15-meter-long oak piles using five modern steam rams. The construction of the theater under the direction of Georg Daniel took three years until the festive opening on October 3, 1886. For the overall project of the new Schwerin theater from 1882 to 1886, more than 100 plans have been preserved in various collections and archives, the attribution of the fundamental ideas to the architects who designed them is still pending.

On April 1, 1887, Gustav Hamann was appointed district builder of the state building district in Hagenow , where he worked for almost 15 years and was promoted to land builder on May 7, 1888. He designed buildings for the grand ducal administration as well as numerous private individuals. In 1900 he even made drawings for the stalls in the Gross Salitz church and provided the seating plan. In addition, he represented the vacant position of district master builder for Boizenburg and Dömitz in 1899 and 1900, and in 1901 he also represented the area of ​​the Redefin state stud.

On January 1, 1902, he was appointed building director to Schwerin and to the local board of the city building district. He was responsible for over 50 buildings in Schwerin. This event was the reason for the construction of his house by the master mason Ludwig Clewe at Schwerin Mozartstrasse 14. The two-story row house was built quite generously in 1902 because he was the father of nine children. The choice of the Johann Albrecht style for the building has to be seen in connection with his restoration work on the decorative facades at the Fürstenhof in Wismar and at the castle in Gadebusch . The facade of his house is symmetrically structured and is emphasized in the center by an entrance bay made of bricks and ornamental terracottas with a balcony-like attachment on the first floor. Hamann's masterpiece in Schwerin is the administration building of the Kuetemeyer Foundation, built between 1893 and 1894, at August-Bebel-Strasse 29 on Pfaffenteich . It had been a family poor foundation since 1865 that wanted to help hard-working, thrifty and poor people. When the foundation was established in 1849, it already had 226 members. Here the house takes up the forms of the Mecklenburg Renaissance. The abundant use of terracottas for facade decoration is unmistakable. Haman has clearly taken the facade of the Wismarer Fürstenhof as a model for the design of the windows crowned with triangular gables and lunettes and the magnificently furnished main portal. The top of the attic with vases and obelisks conclude . He also designed the municipal school in Roonstrasse, today's Fritz-Reuter-Schule in Von-Thünen-Strasse in Schwerin.

He used a vacation trip in 1903 to Holland, Belgium and Switzerland as well as a trip to Italy for study purposes.

Gustav Hamann was in charge of the fourth construction phase of the grand ducal insane asylum in Sachsenberg from 1910 and presented the expansion plans for this in 1911 and 1914. In 1914, under Hamann's management, the new three-storey Marienkrankenhaus with 50 beds was built on Röntgenstrasse in Schwerin, which was very modern for the time .

On April 9, 1914, the appointment was made to the Privy Baurat and on September 25, 1916 Gustav Hamann received after the completion of the courthouse at Schwerin Demmler place together with the Ministerialbaurat Paul Ehmig of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz IV. Of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, the Medal of Merit in gold. Gustav Hamann was a respected and highly skilled architect who demanded a high degree of accuracy and compliance with all building regulations even on urban buildings. Hamann was also involved in the construction of the Redefin State Stud and the construction of a new school building in Neukloster and the Kalenischer Tor in Malchin .

Since 1878 he was a member of the Association for Mecklenburg History and Archeology. In 1894 he was appointed a member of the Grand Ducal Commission for the Preservation of Monuments . Hamann was also the chairman of the examination commission for the candidates in the building trade (construction trainee) in the state of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.

Gustav Hamann also had humorous sides, because in his limited free time he wrote a list of wishes or offers for his nine children, Andreas, Dietrich, Elise, Anna-Marie, Heinrich, Martha, Martin and Otto, who were born between 1884 and 1903: What kind children themselves To wish for Christmas and also to get it. The 100 gifts he wrote down were shown in drawings and are in his estate in the Schwerin State Archives. His son Andreas (1884–1955) was city planning officer in Schwerin twice. After his election in 1919, he was given early retirement in 1934, and from 1945 he was again city planning officer and councilor for economics. In 1950 he escaped arrest by fleeing to Hanover.

In 1919, the government master builder Gustav Hamann died in his house at Mozartstrasse 14 in Schwerin of a dragged-out flu and the associated meningitis. He was buried in the old cemetery . His son Andreas, who became the city architect in Schwerin in 1919, had been appointed executor of the will.
