Josef Gesing
Josef Gesing (born May 5, 1886 in Epe ; died 1963 in Trier ) was a German architect and municipal building officer who worked primarily in Frankfurt (Oder) .
Until 1945, Josef Gesing was involved in the construction of many buildings in Frankfurt (Oder) as a city architect . He then advised the city administration as a freelance architect until shortly before his death.
In 1947, Josef Gesing presented the first urban plan for the reconstruction of Frankfurt, which wanted to largely preserve the old urban structures in the inner city of Frankfurt. As before, this should be determined by craft, trade and commerce. At the instigation of the state government of Brandenburg, a limited architectural competition was carried out in 1948 . The competition design by Willy Kreuer and Richard Lüer , which provided for consistent urban traffic routing and a much looser development, was favored by the state government.
At the beginning of February 1949, the municipal public education office commissioned Josef Gesing to plan the expansion of the former UFA cinema as a municipal theater. But since the project was not included in the two-year plan and therefore the start of construction was not expected before 1951, the municipal building authorities stopped working on the project two months later.
Gesing lived in Lennéstrasse 89 until June 1963, then moved to Trier, where he died shortly afterwards.
In 1996 a street in Frankfurt (Oder) was named after Josef Gesing.
