Live and act

Gottlieb Rambatz was born in Hamburg's old town and baptized in the Sankt-Jacobi-Kirche . He studied architecture at the Technical University of Hanover with Conrad Wilhelm Hase and after completing his studies worked in the Hamburg office of the architects Gustav Zinnow and Hugo Stammann . There he met Wilhelm Jollasse , with whom he founded an architecture office in 1886 to plan a bathhouse in Döse .

In the period that followed, the architects received numerous orders due to the economic upswing, including the Mielk commercial building in Hamburg-Hohenfelde (1889) and the Warburg-Stift (1891). The Gothic brick facades were largely shaped by the Hanover architecture school . With the construction of the Speicherstadt , the architectural style of residential and commercial buildings changed. In addition to upper-class residential buildings, including Georg Hulbe's villa , the architectural office was now increasingly receiving orders for the realization of office buildings . Between 1899 and 1905, several buildings were built on the east bank of the Inner Alster , which corresponded to common optical conventions.

Due to the increasing demand for office space, Rambatz and Jollasse planned significantly larger office buildings in the following years, including the Bieberhaus , which set new standards for Hamburg architecture, and based on the same model, the Versmannhaus and, from 1910 to 1912, the esplanade building . After the end of the First World War , during which almost no construction work took place, Rambatz did not resume his work as an architect and died in Hamburg in 1920.

Rambatz was a member of the Hamburg citizenship from 1898 to 1919 , where he tried to influence the building industry in the Hanseatic city . He was a member of the faction Left Center and belonged 1918, the National Liberal Party of.

Today the Rambatzweg in the Jarrestadt is a reminder of Gottlieb Rambatz.
