Hugo Constantin Bartels

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugo Constantin Bartels (* 1899 in Offleben near Magdeburg; † 1956 in Braunschweig ) was a German modernist architect who built buildings in the area around Braunschweig and Berlin during the Weimar Republic and years afterwards.

Life

After attending school and studying architecture, Hugo Bartels founded an architecture office in Braunschweig, which he ran successfully until 1932. His designs and the buildings he carried out follow the New Building style . Bartels was a member of the SPD in Braunschweig, which is probably where he met Otto Grotewohl , who was then director of the Braunschweig State Insurance Company and later GDR Prime Minister . Around 1933 he moved to Berlin-Wilmersdorf , opened a pool construction company in Passauer Straße and became a member of an office community with other architects such as Heinrich Schweitzer and his son Jürgen Schweitzer . During the National Socialist era , Bartels came to terms with the new rulers and built the headquarters of the National Socialist People's Welfare in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, among other places . After the Second World War , Bartels took up residence in Braunschweig again, where he and other architects could plan and build new residential buildings.

Hugo Bartels was married and had a daughter.
