Former police headquarters in Hamburg at the Berliner Tor

Hans Atmer (born August 28, 1893 in Hamburg ; † February 5, 1982 there ; full name: Hans Theodor Gustav Atmer ) was a German architect .

Life

After he began studying architecture in 1912, he had to interrupt it in 1914 because of the First World War. He continued his studies from 1919 to 1920 at the technical universities of Danzig and Berlin. Little is known about his life between the wars. After 1945 he was freelance with Otto Gühlk until 1952 and with Jürgen Marlow from 1953 to 1962 . One of the most famous buildings by Atmer & Marlow is the former Hamburg police headquarters, one of the most important buildings of post-war modernism in Hamburg. The Hotel Norge on Schäferkampsallee in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel , which they built for seafarers on behalf of the Norwegian State's Social Fund, was also an important post-war testimony. In 1957 Atmer and Marlow began planning the hotel; it was built from 1959 to 1961 with Scandinavian style elements and the use of very different materials. Due to structural damage, however, a complete renovation took place in 1992. In 1958, Atmer & Marlow won first prize in the competition for the new construction of the Trinity Church in Hamburg-Harburg , with a special mention of the “mature and objectified modernity” of their proposal. However, the third-placed design was realized by Friedrich Spengelin , as he included the portal ruins of the old church in the new building.
