Hugo Eberhardt (born May 2, 1874 in Furtwangen in the Black Forest , † April 8, 1959 in Miltenberg ) was a German architect and university professor .

Life

He began his creative work as an interior designer for ships of the North German Lloyd . In 1903 he led excavations at the Asklepieion of Kos on behalf of the Württemberg Ministry of Culture . In 1904 he became urban planning inspector in Frankfurt am Main . In 1905 Eberhardt received the order from Gustav Pielenz , the general director of the Knorr company , to build the Villa Pielenz in Heilbronn, and subsequently he also received orders for the villas in Plappert and Berberich in Heilbronn. The Villa Berberich at Karlstrasse 141 in Heilbronn was built in 1905/6 as a house for the businessman Carl Berberich.

With his Heilbronn villas he introduced the English country house architecture in the region. In 1907 Eberhardt became head of the technical training institutes in Offenbach am Main (today the University of Design ). From the teaching material collection, he founded the German Leather Museum in 1917 , which he directed until his death and which was taken over by his assistant, the architectural historian Günter Gall , for the next 30 years. He also worked as a consultant for Goldpfeil .

In Offenbach am Main , Eberhardt built larger buildings: the administration building of the Heyne factory , the administration building of the general local health insurance fund and the building of today's college of design.

He had a lifelong friendship with the researcher Sven Hedin and the Offenbach lawyer and art collector Siegfried Guggenheim . The later Federal President Theodor Heuss , who like Eberhardt was a member of the Deutscher Werkbund , praised his wealth of design, objectivity and his sense of appropriate choice of materials. The architect Ernst Balser was a student of Eberhardt .

After 1933, Eberhardt did not refuse to cooperate with the National Socialist rulers. Nevertheless, the school in Offenbach lost its importance, lost the mechanical engineering department and was upgraded to the master's school of German crafts . Eberhardt joined the NSDAP in 1941. His uncritical stance became a political issue in 2019 after a historian presented a study commissioned for over 100,000 euros.

The architect's final resting place is in the German Leather Museum in Offenbach, where his urn is kept behind a grave wall.
