Hans Erlwein (1872-1914)

Hans Erlwein (born June 13, 1872 in Bayerisch Gmain ; † October 9, 1914 in Amagne-Lucquy near Rethel in the Ardennes ; full name: Johann Jakob Erlwein ) was a German architect and municipal building officer .

Live and act

Hans Erlwein studied in Munich , where he became a member of the Corps Germania . He went on a few study trips and after his exams first worked as a town planner in Bamberg from 1898 until he moved to Dresden on November 17, 1904 , where he took over the management of the building construction department in February 1905. In just under ten years, around 150 buildings were erected under his leadership, which have significantly shaped the modern cityscape. "Expediency, clarity, simplicity, structure of the structure and the integration into the environment" as well as reference to the local building tradition characterized his designs, with which he overcame the historicism of the past years. In doing so, he succeeded in including younger visual artists in designing the buildings as total works of art. In the social life of Dresden, the city planning council plays an influential role as chairman of the building construction committee, the city art committee, as a member of the Dresden Philistine Association ( AHSC ) and the committee for the promotion of the Dresden university system.

Erlwein died a few weeks after the beginning of the First World War in a car accident during a privately organized transport of clothes, food and other gifts for the German soldiers on the Western Front.

He was a member of both the Dresden Freemasons' Lodge to the three swords and Astraa to the greening diamond and the Bamberg lodge to the brotherhood on the Regnitz .

Signature of Hans Erlwein on the Johannstadt town hall (today Sparkasse)

His artistic principle was:

“Honor what is traditional and create something new from it. What should be born out of the air will never be good and new. "

He signed his buildings with a small relief sculpture in the form of a coat of arms with a boy standing in a wine press with alder branches (name symbol), in Dresden still with the Dresden coat of arms and occasionally with the year of completion or inauguration. This signature on the “Italian Village”, the Neustadt fire station and the Romain-Rolland-Gymnasium was probably lost through renovations .

Awards

Erlwein was awarded the Prussian Red Eagle Order IV class in the autumn of 1905 - with Bavarian citizenship and active in Saxony for a few months . In 1910 the Technical University of Dresden appointed him honorary professor .

In the southern suburb of Dresden , a street was named after Erlwein in 1929, the Hans-Erlwein-Gymnasium was named after him as well as the Erlwein-Forum in the Ostragehege .

Memberships

Erlwein was a founding member of the Dresden artists' association Die Zunft . He was also a board member in the Dürerbund and he belonged to the German Werkbund and the Dresden Trade Association .
