Hildegard Dörge-Schröder

Hildegard Dörge-Schröder , (born August 31, 1901 in Berlin as Hildegard Emma Anneliese Schröder , † after 1954) is a German architect .

Life

From 1922 to 1926 she studied architecture at the Technical University in Dresden . After completing her studies, she was a government building supervisor in the civil service in Potsdam, and in 1931 she passed the government building master's examination.

In 1931 she married the architect Gerhard Dörge. After the birth of her first child in 1932, she mainly worked in her husband's office. After the birth of her second child in 1935, she withdrew from working life completely.

With her husband Gerhard Dörge, she designed a small rural house, which was published in the magazine "Der Baumeister". The single-storey house, estimated at 7,500 marks, combined living space, kitchenette and three small bedrooms for four people on an area of 60 square meters. The design of the facade and the gently sloping hipped roof gave the house a rustic, traditional look, especially in comparison to the modern-looking designs (for example by Paul Maria Canthal ) of the magazine.

In 1932 she and her husband took part in the "Bauwelt" model show on the subject of "Houses at Fixed Prices". The show was part of a series of competitions and exhibitions aimed at bringing together good solutions for cost-effective and space-saving houses and making them accessible to a wide audience.

In 1936 the house she designed for her father Robert Schröder was built at Leichhardtstrasse 5 in Berlin-Dahlem . The two-story house with a steep hipped roof had a floor area of 100 square meters and with its numerous rooms no longer fit into the pattern of the economical small houses. After the death of her husband in 1945 as a prisoner of war, the architect left Berlin and sold the house in 1954, which can still be visited today.

Memberships

1938–1943 she was a member of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts.
