Life
In 1863 Endell graduated from the Marienstiftsgymnasium in Stettin. After a year as an apprentice , he began studying at the Berlin Building Academy , which he completed with the building management exam. After a few more years of practical work, he passed the master builder examination in 1871. He then worked in the Prussian hydraulic engineering department in Stettin and Swinoujscie . From 1876 he worked in the construction department of the Prussian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Public Works in Berlin. There he rose to the position of senior construction director (1889).
From 1876 to 1882 Endell was editor of the Zeitschrift für Bauwesen and in 1880/1881 co-founder of the Centralblatt der Bauverwaltung .
In 1889 he was appointed a full member of the Prussian Academy of Civil Engineering .
Karl Friedrich Endell died in Berlin in 1891 at the age of 47 and was buried in the Old Twelve Apostles Cemetery in Schöneberg . The grave has not been preserved.
Buildings and designs
Under Endell's official responsibility, courthouses and service buildings for various district governments were designed and built. Although high-ranking, senior construction officials of the central Prussian building authorities usually only had a small share in the specific planning of individual buildings, the author Lorenz emphasized in his obituary for Endell in 1891 that, contrary to this practice, Endell always had a great deal of influence on construction projects and thus an authorship of the drafts or the executed buildings can be assigned to him.
