Hanover Central Station (1900)

Hubert Oswald Stier (born March 27, 1838 in Berlin ; † June 25, 1907 in Hanover ) was a German architect , construction clerk and university professor . He built train stations, museums and churches mainly in the neo-renaissance style , especially in Berlin and Hanover.

Life

Hubert Stier was the son of the Berlin architect Wilhelm Stier (1799-1856). He was a professor at the Berlin Bauakademie and the focus of a group of hundreds of students, the still-existing Motive Academic Association . As a nine-year-old, his father took him with him to his lectures at the building academy and to association meetings and consequently studied architecture himself. After studying in Berlin, he went on a study trip to Italy in 1862. In the office of the architect Hermann Friedrich Waesemann he was involved in the construction of the Red City Hall in Berlin-Mitte from 1863 to 1864 . After further study trips to France and Italy between 1866 and 1868, he became a government architect in Berlin in 1868 .

In 1876 he went to the Royal Railway Directorate in Hanover as a departmental builder , where he was responsible for the second design of the city’s new central train station . The first draft by the Berlin architect Friedrich Hitzig failed due to the political resistance of the Hanover citizens' associations. Stier's planning combined the Berlin design with the arched style of the Hanover School of Architecture and its own ideas. Ernst Grüttefien designed the technical implementation of the main station with the concept of a baggage and passenger tunnel under a high track structure, which was later called the Hanover system outside the German Empire.

Hubert Stier is the grandfather of Hubert Hoffmann .
