from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Lutsch (born February 13, 1854 in Naugard ; † May 24, 1922 in Bad Nauheim ) was a German construction officer and monument conservator . He was the State Conservator of Prussia from 1901 to 1920.

Life

Hans Lutsch came from a pastor family. After graduating from the Collegium Groeningianum in Stargard , he studied at the Berlin Building Academy . During his studies in 1875/76 he became a member of the Academic Song Board Berlin in the Sondershäuser Association . He completed his studies with the examination to become a government building supervisor.

From 1880 he worked as a government construction manager at the State Building Department in Cammin , where he was involved in preparatory work for the restoration of the cloister of the Camminer Cathedral . On behalf of the Society for Pomeranian History and Archeology , of which he was a member since 1881, he compiled a catalog of the architectural monuments in the administrative district of Szczecin . He published this catalog from 1883 to 1890 in the Zeitschrift für Bauwesen and in 1890 it was summarized under the title “Medieval brick buildings in Central Pomerania from the Peene to the Rega”.

In 1884 Lutsch passed the examination to become a government architect and in the same year came to Wroclaw , where he compiled the catalogs of the architectural monuments of the province of Silesia : For the city of Wroclaw (1886), the administrative district of Breslau (1889), the administrative district of Liegnitz (1891) and the administrative district Opole (1894). In 1891, Lutsch was appointed provincial curator for Silesia, making him the first provincial curator in Prussia. In 1894 he was one of the founders of the Breslauer Hallenschwimmbad AG .

In 1901 Lutsch was appointed State Conservator of Prussia as the successor to Reinhold Persius . As such, he was assigned to the Prussian Ministry of Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs . Lutsch resolutely administered the office as state curator and soon had difficulties both in his ministry and with Oskar Hossfeld , who was responsible for building churches in the Prussian ministry of public works. In 1920 Lutsch retired.

Lutsch wrote about 40 books and essays on monuments. He died of a heart condition in Bad Nauheim in 1922 . His estate was transferred to the Szczecin State Archives as a deposit . In 1943 the Lutsch inventory was probably relocated to Nippoglense near Stolp . Today it is back in the Szczecin State Archives.
