Live and act

Hahn graduated from the community and secondary school in Eisenach and then began an apprenticeship in bricklaying, painting and stone carving. In the winter semester of 1860/1861 he began studying at a construction school. In 1866 he married Gustchen Ebhardt in Eisenach. In the same year his first of eleven children was born, his son Franz, who would later continue his work.

He had been working in Eisenach since 1866 and started projects in collaboration with Eduard Sältzer and the Eisenach building contractor Wilhelm Georg Creutzburg. In 1870 the business was founded in Eisenach as the Hahn architects' office. In the 1870s and 1880s he was significantly involved in projects to develop the Eisenacher Südstadt and presented several development plans. His first independent work was the small Villa Lüdecke in Eisenach's Mariental in 1870 , which was later expanded to become the Sophienaue inn. From 1870 to 1872 he made a leveling for the city of Eisenach.

His wife died in 1900 and he married his sister-in-law in 1902. He died on February 9, 1929 in his hometown.
