Hermann Eberhard Pflaume
Hermann Eberhard Pflaume (born March 6, 1869 in Aschersleben , † December 11, 1921 in Cologne ) was a German architect who worked as a freelance in Cologne.
Life and education
After the early death of his father, the writer Karl Ludwig Wilhelm Pflaume († 1879), Hermann Pflaume grew up in the house of his uncle, the architect Hermann Otto Pflaume, in Cologne. After graduating from high school at Easter 1888 at the Städtisches Realgymnasium in Cologne's Spiesergasse, Pflaume first attended the Munich Polytechnic , before continuing his architecture studies at the Karlsruhe Polytechnic after serving as a one-year volunteer (in the Bavarian Army) . In Karlsruhe, he first worked as a construction manager in an architecture office before moving to his uncle's studio and continuing it after his uncle's death in 1901. Manfred Faber (1879–1944) took over his office in 1921 .
Hermann Pflaume's style was based on the time around 1800 and occasionally represented a moderate Baroque. Tradition has it that he was also influenced by Dutch architecture as a possible consequence of his marriage to Amsterdam- born Alida de Block in 1903 , but this hypothesis cannot be substantiated by his work.
In an obituary, plum was recognized as one of the best among moderns. Some of his main buildings, such as the administration building for the Kölnische Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft , the Hindenburg house on Neumarkt and (in parts) the Olivandenhof on Zeppelinstrasse, have been preserved and give a picture of his skills. Many of his buildings outside of Germany have also survived due to minor war damage.
Hermann Pflaume was a member of the Association of German Architects (BDA) and the German Werkbund (DWB).
