Johannes Radke
Johannes Radke (born August 7, 1853 in Margonin , Posen Province ; † 1938 ) was a German architect , construction clerk and alderman in Düsseldorf .
Life
Radke, son of the evangelical preacher Johann Friedrich Daniel Lebrecht Radke (1841–1874), graduated from the Royal High School in Bromberg in 1874 with the desire to study construction. After completing his studies, he worked in Berlin in the building management of the Imperial Post Office as "Imperial Post Building Inspector" before he was appointed to Düsseldorf as a city planning officer in 1900. Between 1901 and 1921 he was also the city councilor there. In these functions he influenced the construction of the port on the Lausward and numerous other projects, such as the advancement of the banks of the Rhine , the development of the Oberkassel district in the course of the electrification of the Düsseldorf trams ( K-Bahn ) and the 1902 industrial and commercial exhibition .
He designed numerous public buildings for Düsseldorf. The most important are numerous buildings in the clinical complex on Moorenstrasse , the Stahlhof , the Luisen-Gymnasium and the Görres-Gymnasium . The old Rhine promenade including the Düsselschlösschen from 1900 to 1902, of which the bank protection wall, parapets, stairs, banisters, an arbor and the level clock are still preserved, goes back to Radke. Radke gained international attention even before his time in Düsseldorf with the construction of the German exhibition pavilions for the world exhibitions in Chicago in 1893 ( World's Columbian Exposition ) and in Paris in 1900 ( Paris World Exhibition in 1900 ).
Radke was a member of the Berlin Architects' Association (AVB) .
In the 1960s, a street in the growing Garath district of Düsseldorf was named after Radke.
