Heinrich Schmiedeknecht

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Schmiedeknecht (born May 9, 1880 in Bochum ; † August 4, 1962 in Bochum) was a German architect who shaped the face of the city of Bochum with many representative buildings well into the post-war period.

Life

Schmiedeknecht was a son of the master carpenter Louis Schmiedeknecht, who immigrated to Bochum from Thuringia. He initially worked as an employee of the Bochum master builder Heinrich Schwenger and after Schwenger's death in 1906 he took over the office including the customer base.

On behalf of Schlegel Brewery , Schmiedeknecht was also to plan breweries in the USA after the end of Prohibition in 1933 . From 1932 he even took English lessons at the Berlitz School in Essen , but political developments in Germany prevented the project from being realized.
