Hermann vom Endt
Hermann vom Endt (born July 18, 1861 in Düsseldorf ; † September 27, 1939 there ) was a German architect .
Life
Vom Endt studied construction and architecture at the Düsseldorf Art Academy from 1876 to 1878 with Wilhelm Lotz and became a member of the Malkasten Artists' Association . After completing his studies, he first worked in Berlin as an employee in the studio of the renowned architects Kayser & von Großheim . He later traveled to Western Europe, Italy and Denmark for training .
Vom Endt planned more than twenty buildings in downtown Düsseldorf, mostly commercial and administrative buildings. He also built churches and houses. He was also active as a juror in architecture competitions, in the committee of managing architects of the BDA , also Federal Council of Honor, and chairman of the Düsseldorf branch.
Von Endt preferred the historicist architectural style and used a neoclassical and neo-baroque formal language with a penchant for monumentality. In doing so, he joined architects such as Richard Bauer , Josef Kleesattel , Carl Moritz , Johannes Radke , Traugott von Saltzwedel , Bruno Schmitz , Bernhard Sehring , Ernst Stahl and Karl Wach , whose buildings shaped the appearance of downtown Düsseldorf in the Wilhelminian era .
family
On January 28, 1891, Hermann vom Endt married Elisabeth Custodis. The son Rudolf vom Endt , called Rudi, started his own business as a draftsman and became known for his lively and ironic caricatures. The son Walter (born January 31, 1893, † 1982) followed his father's profession and became an architect.
