Hans Herkommer
Hans Herkommer (born May 24, 1887 in Schwäbisch Gmünd ; † November 15, 1956 in Stuttgart ) was a German architect .
Life
From 1906 to 1910, Hans Herkommer was a student of Theodor Fischer , Paul Bonatz and Martin Elsaesser at the Technical University of Stuttgart . During his studies he became a member of the Ulmia Stuttgart fraternity in 1906 . In his subsequent legal clerkship , he also worked in Saxony, from 1911 to 1912 in the building construction department of the city of Dresden, which was headed by Hans Erlwein . Afterwards he worked in Schwäbisch Gmünd in 1913/1914 and - after his participation as a soldier in the First World War - in Stuttgart from 1919, from 1919 to 1922 initially in partnership with the architect Theodor Bulling .
In the 1920s, Herkommer developed a typical expressionist language of forms and in the 1920s and 1930s, along with Dominikus Böhm and Rudolf Schwarz, was one of the well-known architects of Roman Catholic church building. After the Second World War he worked with his son Jörg Herkommer (* 1923).
