Life and work
Cuno was a son of pastor Theodor Friedrich Cuno (* approx. 1788; † August 12, 1856). A relationship with the architects Carl Cuno (1823–1909) and Hellmuth Cuno (1867–1951) from the Halberstadt line of the Cuno family has not yet been proven.
Cuno studied at the Berlin Bauakademie from 1849 to 1853 . From 1853 he worked as a site manager for Ludwig Ferdinand Hesse , including at the New Orangery in Sanssouci . In 1860 Cuno passed his master builder examination (corresponding to the later 2nd state examination ). From 1861 to 1864 was employed by the Royal Direction of the Eastern Railway in Bydgoszcz , then by the commission for the construction of the Silesian Mountain Railway . From 1866 to 1870 he worked for the management of the Berlin-Anhalter Bahn .
In 1870 Cuno entered the Prussian civil service and initially worked as a district builder in Ahrweiler , then from 1874 in the same function in Marburg . In Marburg he was also a university master builder from 1878 after he had represented his predecessor Carl Schäfer since his dismissal in autumn 1877.
From 1879 to 1890, Cuno was a government and building councilor at Landdrostei Hildesheim . From 1890 he was a member of the Koblenz district government as a secret councilor and in 1891 was given the title of secret building officer .
