Karl Marcell Heigelin (born June 9, 1798 in Kupferzell -Rüblingen, † August 4, 1833 in Winnenden ) was a German architect and architectural theorist .

Life

After attending grammar school in Stuttgart, the son of a lawyer from Stuttgart received “first instructions in architecture” from Carl Christian von Seeger and, from 1813, architectural lessons from the former Karl Albrecht Kümmerer (1767–1823), master builder for the Enz and Neckar districts based in Ludwigsburg . Heigelin and his friend Ludwig Zanth were then assistant to the Stuttgart architect Karl Reinhard Ferdinand Fischer (1784–1860), who was appointed agricultural master builder for the Jagstkreis in 1817 as successor to Johann Gottfried Klinsky (1765–1828), first in Schwäbisch Hall , later in Ellwangen (Jagst) .

From 1820 to 1822 Heigelin went on an extensive study trip, first to Darmstadt to Georg Moller and to Kassel to Heinrich Christoph Jussow , then to Paris , from there via Lyon and Turin to Rome and Naples , from where he visited Pompei and Paestum . On the way back, Heigelin stopped in Florence , Venice and Vicenza . The conclusion was a stay in Munich with Leo von Klenze .

After his return, Heigelin passed the state examination for "civil and higher architecture" in Stuttgart at the beginning of 1823 and then settled as a private lecturer in architecture in Tübingen , where he held lectures for future tax officials at the State Economics Faculty; Heigelin also gave architecture lessons as a private teacher. Since Heigelin could hardly hope for planning and construction contracts in difficult economic times, he was mainly active as a journalist, among other things he wrote an extensive textbook on higher architecture, published 1829-1833, which was dedicated to his friend Ludwig Zanth.

In 1829 Heigelin was appointed main teacher at the newly founded trade school in Stuttgart, where he taught German style exercises, art history and mythology , the encyclopedia of construction, house and business bookkeeping, descriptive geometry , plan and machine drawing until his early death . Heigelin also taught at the agricultural teaching, testing and model institute in Hohenheim . In the fall of 1832 Heigelin was appointed provisional director of the trade school, from which the Stuttgart Polytechnic , which later became the Technical University of Stuttgart, developed. In July 1833 he was attacked by a severe "nervous fever" to which he succumbed after a short period of suffering.

In 1831 Heigelin was elected to the Württemberg state parliament in Ludwigsburg . On January 15, 1833, he also entered the state parliament. However, this so-called “in vain parliament” only met once before it was dissolved again.
