Live and act

Restored grave of Harald Julius von Bosse on the Trinitatisfriedhof in Dresden

Harald Julius von Bosse was the son of the history and portrait painter Ernst Gotthilf Bosse (born 1785 in Riga , 1815-1820 student at the Dresden Academy). From 1828 he studied in Dresden and Darmstadt, after which he lived and worked in St. Petersburg; With his buildings he made a special contribution to the era of historicism. He designed and built town houses, villas and country houses, but also churches in St. Petersburg and the surrounding area. In 1832 he became a "freelance artist", in 1839 a member of the academy and in 1854 a professor at the Art Academy in St. Petersburg. In 1858 he was appointed "Imperial Russian Court Architect" and in 1865 was raised to hereditary nobility by Tsar Alexander II .

From 1863 until his death in 1894 he lived in Dresden. His buildings are executed in various forms and styles, as was the case with the planning of the Villa Meyer in Dresden. As an architect, he also played a special role in the planning of the Russian Orthodox Church in Dresden; the construction management was carried out by the Dresden architect Karl Weißbach . In Dresden he led a. a. the planning and construction of the Evangelical Reformed Church (1892-1894) in the neo-Romanesque style . The model was the Reformed Church of St. John in St. Petersburg, which he designed and built between 1859 and 1860. The church in Dresden was badly damaged in 1945 and later demolished. He himself belonged to the Reformed community in Dresden. His restored grave is in the Trinitatisfriedhof .
