Josef Vassillière (born November 27, 1897 in Haaren ; † October 12, 1967 in Heilbronn ) was a German architect .

Life

Vassillière grew up in hair as the son of the master carpenter Philip Vassillière and his wife Annemarie with seven sisters. After participating in the First World War, he began to study painting in Aachen in 1918, but switched to studying architecture at the building trade school in Aachen. In 1922 he moved to Berlin and worked there as an employee of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe , who also came from Aachen. Here it got its stamp in the sense of the Bauhaus . At the end of the 1920s he emerged as a freelance architect in Berlin as a planner of villa and church buildings. Even under the influence of the Carl-Sonnenschein- Kreis, he harbored a deep contempt for the emerging National Socialist regime, turned down orders and offers from Albert Speer , and in 1939 was forced to leave his domicile in Berlin-Nikolassee with his wife and two children .

In the southern German city of Bad Wimpfen , he was given the post of city architect, despite not being party to the party, and this remained until the late 1940s. The work in this old imperial city allowed him to grow into the role to which he remained loyal until the end of his career, the preservation of monuments . In the post-war period he rebuilt approx. 60 castles, palaces and listed buildings, added extensions and was thus able to guarantee their preservation. The numerous villas, restaurants, pub signs complemented its versatility. He became the "castle builder " Bubava ( Bu rgen ba uer Va ssillière) of the Neckar valley. He died just three years after his wife and left three children.
