Hermann Philipp Wilhelm von der Hude (born June 2, 1830 in Lübeck , † June 4, 1908 in Berlin ) was a German architect of historicism .

Life

Hermann von der Hude came from a Lübeck pewter foundry family that had been known since the 17th century. After graduating from high school at the Katharineum in Lübeck , he studied with Ferdinand von Arnim in Potsdam in 1849 and 1850 . From 1850 he studied at the Berlin Building Academy . In addition to school, he worked for Friedrich August Stüler and supported him in his designs for the Berlin Cathedral . A study trip took him to Italy in 1855 . On his return he passed the master builder examination in 1857 and in the same year won the Schinkel Prize of the Architects' Association in Berlin with a design for the Berlin City Hall , which may have influenced the design by the architect Hermann Friedrich Waesemann . First he traveled to England and France in 1857 . Around 1858 von der Hude received a state job and the title of Royal Government Builder and Architect . His apartment was in Alt-Berlin , Markgrafenstrasse, where he and Julius Hennicke also ran the Hude & Hennicke architecture office from 1860 .

In 1861 he resigned from civil service and devoted himself only to the architecture office. Together they realized numerous residential and commercial buildings as well as hotel buildings in Berlin, including the Hotel Kaiserhof or the Central-Hotel on Friedrichstrasse near the city station of the same name. The Lessing Theater on Friedrich-Karl-Ufer near the Reichstag in 1888 was the first new theater to be built in Berlin in 20 years. The two architects dissolved the company in March 1892, and his partner Julius Hennicke died shortly afterwards in October of the same year. Hermann van der Hude became a member of the Academy for Building in 1894.

For many years he was in personal contact with Heinrich von Ferstel and, on the occasion of his death (July 14, 1883), held a lecture on his life and work on September 3 at the meeting of the Berlin Architects' Association .

On New Year's Eve 1907 he suffered a stroke from which he did not recover until he died. Hermann von der Hude was buried in Cemetery IV of the Jerusalems- und Neue Kirche community on Bergmannstrasse in Berlin-Kreuzberg .
