Hans Kraffert (born April 23, 1885 in Berlin ; † January 10, 1950 ) was a German architect who mainly worked in Berlin.

Life

Hans Kraffert completed his studies at the TH Charlottenburg . He was later a member of the high-rise company, to which Otto Kohtz and Bruno Möhring also belonged, became a government builder and member of the board of the bbg Berlin building cooperative . Together with Jakob Schallenberger , he published the work Berlin Housing Buildings from Public Funds in 1926 . Use of House Interest Tax Mortgages .

Draft for the Ilsenhof

Under conservation , the condominium-General Woyna Street in is Berlin-Reinickendorf , built in the 1920s according to plans by the Berlin Krafferts cooperative eGmbH. It comprises the buildings General-Woyna-Straße 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 and Zobeltitzstraße 51, 53, 55 and 57. In 1928/29 the Neukölln residential complex Ilsenhof an der Ilsestrasse 19–22 built according to his plans.

The style of his buildings can be read in the commemorative publication for the 125th anniversary of the Berlin building cooperative: “More oriented towards moderate modernism, with the cooperative houses that are now mostly listed buildings, he makes an important contribution to reformed housing in Berlin. In the bbg, the certain distance to the avant-garde of the new building is accepted with [...] benevolence - most of the residents want to live more comfortably and familiarly [...] than radically modern and businesslike. ”In Lichtenberg , however, there is also an expressionist residential complex, which was built according to designs by Kraffert in 1926/27. It includes the addresses Scheffelstrasse 15 and 16 and Paul-Junius-Strasse 2–12.

Kraffert's designs for a skyscraper on Berlin's Blücherplatz from 1920 were not implemented, but were received several times. The lower floors were to be staggered, above which the actual building should rise, which atypically was supposed to end with a hipped roof .

Hans Kraffert died in 1950 at the age of 64. He was buried in the Zehlendorf cemetery in Berlin. The grave has not been preserved.
