Hans Waloschek

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Waloschek (born July 13, 1899 in Vienna ; † October 28, 1985 there ; full name: Johann Karl Waloschek ) was an Austrian architect and representative of New Building and New Objectivity , who worked in Austria , Germany and Argentina .

Live and act

Waloschek attended elementary school and the community school as well as the vocational training school for the building trade in Vienna and completed his mason apprenticeship in 1916. Then he attended the construction school of the Vienna State Trade School , which he graduated in 1919 with the secondary school leaving certificate. From 1918 to 1925 he worked for the architects of the “Viennese settlement movement” Siegfried Theiss , Hans Jaksch and Carl Seidl . In 1920 and 1921 he worked as a site manager in Leipzig . From his work at the Austrian Association for Settlements and Allotment Gardens from May 1922 in Vienna, he turned to small housing and settlement construction. In 1926 he went on an educational trip through Germany and the Netherlands.

From 1927 Waloschek worked in Berlin for the architects Willi Ludewig and Ernst Bodien of DEWOG (German Housing Association for Civil Servants, Employees and Workers), which had been founded in 1924 by Martin Wagner . In 1928 he founded GEWOG (non-profit housing and home building company for workers, employees and civil servants) in Dresden, a subsidiary of DEWOG. He became technical director and architect of GEWOG, Richard Rösch acted as managing director of GEWOG . The aim of this housing association was the construction of housing developments in Dresden, including the large housing estate Trachau . From May 1930 Waloschek lived with his family in the Trachau settlement, Kirchhoffstraße 2 (now Richard-Rösch-Straße 2). He had been a member of the German Werkbund since 1933 .

After the seizure of power of the National Socialists took place in 1933 the expropriation of the union- GEWOG. After his application for naturalization was rejected by the authorities, his family returned to Vienna. He himself fled to Vienna on December 7, 1933, but emigrated to Buenos Aires in 1936 . In 1959 he returned to Germany and worked again as an architect for the successor company of GEWOG, the union's own housing company Neue Heimat in Hamburg .

Hans Waloschek was an advocate of the flat roof in his projects in the 1920s and 1930s (e.g. Trachau settlement), in his later years he revised this view in favor of the pitched roof, because flat roofs always have to be serviced or repaired. Hans Waloschek died on October 28, 1985 and was buried on November 8, 1985 in the Vienna Central Cemetery (Urnenhain, Simmeringer Hauptstrasse 337, Department E13, Group 1, number 710).

His son is the physicist Pedro Waloschek , who has published numerous publications on his father's work.
