Karl Indermühle
Karl Indermühle (born April 28, 1877 in Vendlincourt , † January 23, 1933 in Bern ) was a Swiss architect.
In 1900 he became head of the Bauhütte at Bern Minster . In addition to school buildings in Bern and the surrounding area, he built and renovated numerous churches:
- Choir of the French Church in Bern

- Kirchlindach Church (renovation 1907 to 1908)
- Hindelbank Church (new building 1911 to 1912)

- Church of Röthenbach in the Emmental
- Village chapel in Schwarzenburg BE
Indermühle also designed the memorial for the Bernese cavalrymen who died of the Spanish flu in 1921 at the Lueg vantage point in the municipality of Affoltern in Emmental and for the soldiers' memorial for the Emmental victims of the First World War at the Reformed Church in Langnau, which was inaugurated in the same year in the Emmental .
As a representative of the Heimat style , Indermühle fought against historicism and for regional building tradition, for example with his Dörfli at the Swiss National Exhibition of 1914 in Bern's Engeriedquartier in the Länggasse-Felsenau district . He later turned to the classic modern style .
Indermühl was a founding member and chairman of the Bern section of the Swiss Homeland Security .
