life and work

Julius Rasch, son of the Osnabrück master chimney sweep August Rasch, studied from 1846 to 1850 at the Hanover Polytechnic under Christian Heinrich Tramm .

From 1853 to 1854 he planned with Conrad Wilhelm Hase , whose pupil he had been, and Adolf Funk the new building of the Göttingen station building. From 1854 he built the Nordstemmen station designed by Conrad Wilhelm Hase . He developed his own transition style in the transition from the arched style to the neo-Gothic . In 1856 he worked as a "railway engineer assistant in Emden " . From 1860 to 1863 he proved himself as a planner and site manager of the administration building of the General Directorate of Railways and Telegraphs in Hanover in the position of "Railway Director". From 1862 to 1864 Imbshausen Castle was built according to his designs, probably the first picturesque castle in the asymmetrical style of the Hanover Building School . In 1866 he went on a trip to visit new train stations in southern Germany, Belgium and northern France.

Among other things, as an employee of Adolf Funk, he designed the large asylums in Göttingen (1862–1864) and Osnabrück (1861–1868), the midwifery school in Hanover (1862–1864) and a number of elegant houses in Hanover and the surrounding area.

When the Kingdom of Hanover was annexed by Prussia in 1866, he was accepted into the Prussian civil service. 1866–1867 he prepared the construction of the new Hanover train station . Around 1866 he served as a "Railway Construction Inspector" in Dortmund , then in Breslau . In April 1869 he was promoted to works inspector there. Unpleasant experiences here led him to resign from his position as architect of the Royal Railway Directorate.

In the first year of the Deutsche Bauzeitung , published in 1867 , he published a number of articles that also helped the Hanoverian architects and engineers to get closer to their Prussian colleagues.

In February 1871 he became a hill builder for Alfred Krupp in Essen and also built the Schederhof workers' colony . For this he had to retire from civil service. He later parted with Krupp in strife.

From 1877 he was operations director of the Berlin Schneidemühl operations office of the state Prussian Eastern Railway . In the Berlin address books from 1877 up to the year of his death, he is referred to as "Government and Baurath, Operations Director of the 'Berlin Schneidemühl' Works Office, Küstriner Platz, station building of the Kgl. Ostbahn ”.
