Heinrich Juergensen (born March 16, 1871 in Schleswig , German Empire ; † September 1, 1953 in Lillehammer , Norway ) was a German architect who mainly worked in Norway.
Life
Jürgensen grew up as the son of master carpenter Jacob Heinrich Jürgensen in Schleswig. In his youth, Jürgensen went to Kristiania in Norway, today's Oslo, where he studied at the Den kongelige tegneskole (Royal Drawing School) from 1888 to 1890 . He was then from 1890 to 1892 assistant to the Norwegian architect Henrik Nissen . During this time he designed his first building in 1890, the Villa Fagerhøi at Alvheimveien 6 .
In order to expand his specialist knowledge and to continue studying, Jürgensen went back to Germany to the Royal Technical University of Berlin , where he studied architecture from 1892 to 1893. During this time he heard from Professor Johannes Vollmer in Berlin and was also involved in Vollmer's planning and construction projects, including the first Kaiser Friedrich Memorial Church . After completing his studies, he worked at the Dortmund City Planning Department from 1894 to 1895 .
After that, Jürgensen returned to Norway, where he founded an architecture office in Kristiania (Oslo) in 1895 . He had one of his first commissions from 1895 to 1896 for planning the construction of a house at Niels Juels gate 42 in the Frogner district of Osler , which he built in neo-baroque with Art Nouveau elements . In 1897, Jürgensen and the architect Bredo Greve built the Norges Brannkasse building (which has since been demolished). Furthermore, built in 1897 Jürgensen a villa at the Kruse gate 5b in the Swiss style , 1898 a factory building at the Tøyengaten and 1900 an estate in the style of Neo-Renaissance at the Skippergaten 14 .
Jürgensen built a number of church buildings in Norway at the turn of the century. Among his most famous churches was the Borge kirke in 1899, the Vaterland småkirke (Fatherland Church, demolished in 1959) in 1899 and the Vålerengen kirke in 1899 together with the architect Holger Sinding-Larsen .
After the great fire in the Norwegian city of Ålesund on the night of January 23, 1904, when almost the entire city center was destroyed by a fire, Jürgensen settled down there to help with the reconstruction. There designed several new buildings, mostly in Art Nouveau style , such as the House of the Workers' Association ( Arbeiderforeningen ) Lorchenesgata 2 . He carried out some of his buildings there together with his business partner Kristen Rivertz .
Jürgensen later moved back to the Norwegian capital, where he built several churches, houses and public buildings. These included the Vingrom kirke in 1908 (together with Fin Wollebæk ), in 1910 the Tune kirke in neo-Gothic style , in 1912 the Breiseth Hotel in Lillehammer , in 1913 the Norges Bank in Lillehammer (together with Fin Wollebæk in neo-baroque), in 1914 the Lomen kirke as neo - Romanesque church. In 1914 he also built residential and commercial buildings at Marcus Thranes gate 8-20 and hospitals in Gjøvik and Tettsted Hov . For Johan Bertrand Narvesen's Narvesens Kioskkompani A / S , Jürgensen built a whole series of public newspaper kiosks from 1909 to 1911, which at that time shaped the cityscape in Norway. Jurgensen restored in 1914, the stave church Lom in Vågåmo the municipality Lom , in Fylke Oppland . In 1918 he built Villa Haakon at Godes vei 24 and Villa Solstrand at Mosseveien 207 in Oslo . He built further residential and commercial buildings in Oslo in 1929 at Vidars gate 13 and in 1931 together with Johan von Hanno at Gabels gate 25-27 .
