Heinrich Theodor Schmidt
Heinrich Theodor Schmidt (born January 22, 1843 in Usingen ; † July 19, 1904 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German architect who mainly worked in Frankfurt am Main.
life and work
Schmidt received his training at the building trade school in Holzminden and from 1865 worked at the district building inspection in Eltville . In 1872 he moved to Frankfurt am Main, where most of his independent works were created. He specialized in building upper class houses and villas . His designs mostly show the style of the neo-renaissance (often with clear reference to models of the German renaissance), but some are also in neo-baroque forms. His most important work is Lieser Castle on the Moselle, which Schmidt built from 1884 to 1887 for the gas manufacturer Eduard Puricelli .
