Life and Buildings

Ernst Wilhelm Heinrich Bresslau was a son of the zoologist Ernst Bresslau and his wife Luise, b. Hoff, and a grandson of the historian Harry Bresslau . He had two sisters and a brother named Hermann. Like him, he attended the Kreuzgasse grammar school in Cologne . His further training course is not precisely documented, but it stands to reason that he studied in Munich and there could have met his future business partner in Brazil , Franz L. Bastian (* 1910). The Bresslau family emigrated to São Paulo in 1934. Heinrich Bresslau continued his architecture studies there and then settled down as an architect. His shared office with Bastian existed in the 1940s and 1950s; some of their buildings have also been published in Germany. It was a house for Dr. Werner Rosenfeld and two houses for Delphina Chiron Levi and for Frank Schlössinger.
