Heinrich Wilhelm Behrens
Heinrich Wilhelm Behrens (born September 7, 1873 in Bremen ; † May 16, 1956 in Bremen) was a German architect .
biography
Behrens was the son of a master mason. After elementary school he did an apprenticeship as a bricklayer and then studied from 1892 to 1893 at the Bauewerkschule Holzminden and until 1895 at the Technical University of Charlottenburg . He worked from 1900 to 1902 in Albert Dunkel's architectural office in Bremen and was involved in the renovation of the Kunsthalle Bremen (1900–1902) and the office building of the Laudel apparatus factory , except for the grinding mill 17 (1900). He had his own office since 1902. In 1904 he planned the construction of the crematorium at the Riensberg cemetery in Bremen- Schwachhausen .
In 1907, Behrens founded the architectural association Behrens & Neumark together with Friedrich Neumark . The office planned and built numerous residential and commercial buildings. The Bauhaus teacher and architect Ludwig Hilberseimer (1911) also worked for a short time in the office at Langenstrasse 128/130 .
As far as the buildings were not destroyed in the Second World War, most of them are under monument protection (see list of cultural monuments in Bremen-Mitte ).
After the war, Behrens was involved in the reconstruction of many houses in Bremen and was also chairman of the Bremen local group of the Association of German Architects .
