Karl Siebold
Karl Siebold (born November 18, 1854 in Schildesche , today Bielefeld ; † July 16, 1937 in Gadderbaum , today Bielefeld) was a German architect and head of the construction department of the Bodelschwingh Foundation in Gadderbaum.
Life
Siebold was the third son of the revival pastor Carl Siebold (1818–1905) and his wife Elise nee. Schlüter (1825–1908) was born and grew up in Schildesche near Bielefeld. He studied architecture at the Berlin Building Academy . During his studies, he made friends with the archaeologist Wilhelm Dörpfeld and the architect Friedrich Graeber . The three young men took part together in the German excavations in Olympia and in the spring of 1881 went on an archaeological study trip to the Magna Graecia in southern Italy .
By malaria Siebold was forced to return to Schildesche. After his recovery, Friedrich von Bodelschwingh , who was closely connected to the Siebold family, gave the architect a job in the construction management of the Bodelschwingh'schen Anstalten. After his second state examination, he took over the management of the building administration in 1891, which he held until 1921.
In addition to his work for Bethel, which also included solutions for the technical infrastructure within the institutions, Siebold soon became a sought-after architect for new Protestant church buildings throughout Germany and Austria, and when furnishing them, he emphasized good artistic furnishings according to the prevailing taste through mosaics , Paintwork and stained glass windows.
In 1906 Siebold became head of the newly founded Provincial Church Building Office of the Evangelical Church of Westphalia . In this function, he examined almost all building designs for new churches and their artistic furnishings. Until 1931 he worked for the office as an appraiser.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, Siebold has also been involved in the construction of settlements for workers' houses and apartments, which Bodelschwingh is promoting. In this context, in 1920, together with Heinrich Vormbrock, he founded the Volksbaugesellschaft mbH, a non-profit testing and advice center for economical construction methods, for which he also worked as an architect.
