Josef Seché (architect)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josef Seché , real name Josef Sechehaye (* 1850 in Cologne ; † February 4, 1901 ibid) was a German architect and teacher at the Royal Provincial Trade School in Cologne .

Life

Nothing is known about Josef Seché's education. In the 1870s he worked as an architect for the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft . Around 1879/80 he was appointed to the Royal Provincial Trade School in Cologne, where he taught the subjects of decorative painting, freehand and craft drawing, and design. At the same time he worked as a freelance architect. He designed various Cologne town houses. Some sacred buildings also belong to his life's work. The fact that he also took part in architecture competitions can be seen from a contribution for the new construction of a district building in Hörde , which won the competition together with the design by the architect Speer from Mannheim. According to the Cologne citizen roles (list of citizens of the city of Cologne who are capable of voting), he lived in Pantaleonstrasse No. 29 around 1880, then on Hohenzollernring No. 83. His last apartment was on Sachsenring No. 101, where he lived at the age of 50 Years ago. His grave in Cologne's Melaten cemetery no longer exists.

His son Josef Seché was a painter and commercial artist.
