Heino Otto

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heino Otto (born May 31, 1869 in Büdesheim ; † uncertain: after 1929) was a German architect and builder . Before starting his own business, he worked for the Dresden architects Schilling & Graebner . He was one of the “second rank” architects like Felix Reinhold Voretzsch , Otto Foerster , Rose & Röhle and the Fichtner brothers , who “devoted themselves more intensively” to Art Nouveau.

Live and act

At the beginning of his career he was still an "excessive neo-baroque artist". In 1899 he started his own business and now represented Art Nouveau in an “equally pathetic attitude” and created the well-known “Art Nouveau villas”. Between 1899 and 1905 he built the villas at Karcherallee 43 (1899), Stübelallee 21 (1900), Comeniusstraße 16, Karcherallee 11 and Caspar-David-Friedrich-Straße 3 (1903/1904). It is possible that the Villa Loschwitzer Strasse 4 (1901) also came from him. After Art Nouveau subsided, he built in the style of neoclassicism.

Otto's designs attracted the attention of architectural critics and were published early on as “examples of modern building attitudes”.
