Live and act

Tscharmann was a descendant of the Chamberlain Friedrich Aly . He was the son of the lawyer and notary Joseph Julius Tscharmann and his wife Berta Johanna Wilhelmine geb. Hardegen. In 1900 he married Mathilde Rieper from Hamburg, and they had three daughters.

After attending the trade school in Chemnitz, Tscharmann studied in Dresden , Leipzig and Berlin. He first worked in his hometown of Leipzig , where, among other things, designs for the design of the Saxon-Thuringian industrial and commercial exhibition were created. He also designed the Bismarck Tower, built in Keilhau , Thuringia, in 1899, and the Bismarck column erected in 1900 on the Mechtenberg in Essen-Kray .

As an employee of Edmund Waldow , he was involved in the new building for the Saxon Ministry (Ministry of Justice, the Interior and Culture) on the Carolabrücke in Dresden between 1900 and 1904 . The neo-baroque building with classicist elements served the council of the Dresden district in GDR times and has been the seat of the Saxon State Chancellery since 1995 . The Villa Comeniusstraße 32 , which was built by Tscharmann in Dresden in 1906 and is now a listed building , was later referred to as the Mutschmann Villa because it was the residence of the Nazi Gauleiter in the 1930s and 1940s.

A scholarship for the Villa Romana in Florence , which he received in 1908, he only took advantage of for a short time. Tscharmann ran the Tscharmann und Hänichen architecture office together with Gustav Hänichen .
