Heinrich Wolf (architect)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Wolf (born June 1, 1868 in Eger , Bohemia, † probably after 1915) was an Austro-German architect and specialist author.

Live and act

Wolf probably studied at the Technical University of Berlin-Charlottenburg . He worked as an architect in Berlin from 1895 and moved to Vienna in 1899 . In 1904 Wolf returned to Berlin, where there is evidence of him until 1915.

During his brief work in Vienna, Wolf built several rental houses and villas in Vienna and Wels , and also published articles about them in specialist journals. In 1902 he built the Evangelical Church of the Resurrection in the large Bohemian village (Velká Ves).

In 1901 he took part in the architectural competition for a Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Stadtmuseum in Vienna with a preliminary design . In 1903 Wolf took part in the architecture competitions for the Protestant Christ Church in Innsbruck - Saggen and for the grammar school in Wels. In 1904, Wolf participated in the Great Berlin Art Exhibition with the competition design for the Protestant Church in Innsbruck and photographs of a Berlin office building .

Nothing is known about his further life after 1915.

Wolf's buildings can be assigned to the neo-baroque and neo-renaissance. They are characterized by their elaborate, representative facade design, often with corner towers. Wolf worked with other builders on a large part of the residential and commercial buildings; he took over the facade design, the floor plans and room arrangements were designed by the executive colleague.
