Hans Hermann (architect)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Hermann (born October 7, 1877 in Viersen ; † November 10, 1914 at Bikschote in Belgium ) was a German architect .

Life

Hans Hermann studied architecture at what was then the Technical University of Charlottenburg (now the Technical University of Berlin ). After the 1st state examination before the end of 1900 and a legal clerkship , he passed the 2nd state examination in 1907 and was then appointed government master builder ( assessor in the public building administration). In this rank he worked for the building police in Berlin until 1909 . Then he quit his civil service and worked as a freelance architect in Berlin, initially in partnership with Hans Dörpfeld . From 1911 to 1912 he worked with Heinrich Straumer in a joint architecture office. Numerous residential buildings were built in Berlin as a result of this collaboration. Then Hermann worked alone.

At the beginning of the First World War , Hans Hermann volunteered and died on November 10, 1914 near Bikschote during the First Battle of Flanders in Belgium - during the fights that were later misused as a myth of Langemarck for propaganda purposes. Hermann left behind a wife and three small children.
