Karl Lehrmann
Karl Lehrmann (born September 29, 1887 in Saaz , Bohemia; † October 12, 1957 in Mödling ) was an Austrian architect and university professor. His buildings in Brno , Linz and Vienna are characterized by modern forms that, in conjunction with historicizing stylistic elements, achieve a monumental effect.
Live and act
Karl Lehrmann was born in Saaz in 1887, his father Wenzl Lehrmann was a shoemaker, his mother Anna née. Rossbach factory worker. From 1902 to 1905 apprenticeship as a bricklayer in Saaz, from 1904 to 1908 attended the State Trade School in Pilsen .
Then he worked as a technician in a construction company in Saaz. From 1908 to 1912 studied at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in the master class with Friedrich Ohmann .
After completing his studies in 1912, he received the Gundel Prize and worked in the architectural office of Fellner & Helmer in Vienna. Together with Rüdiger Walter, he founded his own office in Vienna and successfully took part in many competitions, although most of the designs were never realized. In 1915 he volunteered for military service with the railway troops in Korneuburg . In 1916 he married Emilie Styles in Mödling .
For his hometown of Saaz, he has worked on a number of construction projects, e.g. B. for the Evangelical Lutheran rectory in Reitschoweser Str. (1912) and the (no longer existing) hop farmer memorial at the hop signing office Dr.-Damm-Str. (1932).
After the war , he began teaching in 1919 as a professor at the federal technical and industrial college in Mödling near Vienna.
After the municipality of Perchtoldsdorf decided on April 20, 1920 to issue emergency money (as a replacement for the insufficiently available coins with smaller denominations ), Karl Lehrmann was commissioned with the design of the emergency money bills. He designed notes with a face value of 10, 20 and 50 Heller , which reached a total of 880,000 pieces and a total value of 146,000 kroner (4,600 euros ).
He achieved his greatest professional success in the 1920s, because many of his designs were carried out in Brno, Linz and Vienna as well as the southern environs (Perchtoldsdorf, Mödling etc.).
In 1912 he and his fellow student Rüdiger Walter took second place behind Otto Wagner in the competition for the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Stadtmuseum in Vienna; The Gundel Prize, endowed with 8,500 kroner (around 45,000 euros), was associated with this success. In 1918 he received prize money from the Marie Countess Hoyos -Amerling Foundation in the amount of 1,800 kroner. In 1930 he was awarded the Silver Cross for special services to the Austrian state for his educational work. In 1935 he was transferred to the State Trade School in Vienna. After the Second World War , he retired in 1946 and wrote several architecture textbooks. Karl Lehrmann died in 1957 at the age of 70 in Mödling, where he was also buried.
meaning
Lehrmann witnessed the turn to the modern age, he was initially still under the conservative influence of his teacher Ohmann, but soon oriented himself towards Otto Wagner's new objectivity .
His first drafts were still committed to the traditions of late historicism and neoclassical monumental art with a strong vertical structure, e.g. B. at the duplex at Reisnerstrasse 27–29 in Vienna.
His public buildings, erected in the early 1920s, are characterized by modern forms that, in conjunction with historicizing stylistic elements, achieve a monumental effect. B. at the headquarters in Brno and Linz.
In later years he approached the expressionist style using Art Deco motifs , for example in the multi-purpose building with a pharmacy in Ústí nad Labem (Aussig). In the 1930s he also used aesthetic and constructive principles of the International Style , e.g. B. in the construction of the energy center of the technical and commercial federal school in Mödling.
