Julius Faulwasser
Carl Julius Faulwasser (born January 17, 1855 in Hamburg ; † December 8, 1944 in Breslau ) was a German architect and building historian.
Life
He built numerous churches, residential buildings, collegiate and school buildings and office buildings in Hamburg. At the end of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century, many new church buildings were built in Hamburg. While Johannes Otzen and his student Fernando Lorenzen devoted themselves to the neo-Gothic style , the buildings by Faulwasser are more based on neo-baroque .
At the same time he was also a building historian and writer. In 1892 the work The Great Fire and the Reconstruction of Hamburg was published: A memorial to the fifty years of remembrance days from May 5th to 8th 1842 in which he describes the Great Fire of 1842 and the subsequent reconstruction. He later measured and described many old Hamburg church buildings, including the history of the St. Michaelis Church in Hamburg in 1901. Five years later, the church was almost completely destroyed by fire. Rotten water was used for the reconstruction.
Faulwasser died at the age of 89 and was buried in the Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg (location: W5, 424–429).
