Live and act
Career
Kleefisch studied civil engineering at RWTH Aachen University and became a member of the Delta Academic Association, which later became Corps Delta. He then worked for the government in Düsseldorf and between 1886 and 1894 he was involved in the planning of the new Cologne Central Station as a government architect . In 1898 Kleefisch moved to the building construction department of the city of Cologne, where he initially worked as a town planning inspector and finally as a building officer. In 1926 he was appointed head of the building trade office.
Activities for the municipal authorities in Cologne
Kleefisch worked in the municipal building administration of the city of Cologne. With his participation, for example, the Südpark -Restaurant was built in 1900/1901 and the fire station IV Cologne-South from 1902 to 1904 .
In the years 1905 to 1909, the Lindenburg hospital was built according to his designs, from which today's clinics of the university clinics emerged . He used both the corridor and the pavilion system . The University of Cologne awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1923 for his services to the establishment of these clinics .
After this project, conversions of the Augusta Hospital at Zülpicher Straße 41 (today the university's institute site) were carried out in 1909 under Kleefisch's direction. The largest building project known to date was the construction of the Sacred Heart Home at Mainzer Strasse 55-57 in 1927/28 - in this case in collaboration with the architects Böll and G. Neuhaus.
Kleefisch also planned the Neptunbad, which opened in 1912 on Neptunplatz in Cologne-Ehrenfeld .
The animal fountain by the sculptor Wilhelm Albermann , built in 1914 and now standing on the edge of the Mülheim city garden , refers in an inscription to the building councilor Kleefisch, who died in 1932.
