Life

Düsseldorf with its surroundings after looped fortifications , 1809 (detail) - The plan is based on the 1801 but lost plan by Huschberger.

Kaspar Huschberger was the son of Johann Heinrich Huschberger, one formerly in Schwetzingen making, Palatine building inspector and in 1772 promoted to jülich-Berg court architect architects . He was also trained as an architect and entered the service of the sovereign. From 1782 he managed - initially together with his father - the execution of state building tasks in the Duchy of Jülich-Berg , a sub-region of Electoral Palatinate Bavaria . In this activity he dealt with the realization of the Düsseldorf Carlstadt and the reconstruction of the court gardener's house, which was destroyed in 1796 . In connection with the defortification of Düsseldorf provided for in Article VI of the Peace of Lunéville , he drafted a plan for the “enlargement and beautification of the city of Düsseldorf” on behalf of Johann Wilhelm von Hompesch zu Bolheim at the beginning of 1801 (only handed down in the description) The site of the city ​​fortifications, which was damaged in the coalition wars, provided for a half-ring of green spaces and water areas including a city ​​moat and a security harbor. On September 25, 1801, Huschberger took over the office of building inspector within the Bergisch government in addition to his function as court architect. To this end, his sovereign, Maximilian IV of Palatinate-Bavaria , granted him an increase in salary of 200 Reichstaler as well as increased daily allowances for inspection trips and for a horse. From 1783 he sat in the magistrate of the city of Düsseldorf , 1802 as "Altrath". He was also a member of the "Commission for the Management of Building Matters", which was convened on January 28, 1802 and which, under the direction of the Bergisches Staatsrat Georg Arnold Jacobi, had the task of continuing the planning for the removal of the fortifications and the urban redesign of Düsseldorf.

A few years later he went to Munich, where in 1806 he was promoted to construction director of the royal Bavarian "Central Water and Road Construction Bureau" under General Director Carl Friedrich Wiebeking . As his successor, Jacobi temporarily hired Karl Friedrich Schäffer , the architecture professor at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in 1806 , and from 1808 the Münster architect Adolph von Vagedes . In his new position Huschberger had little luck: In connection with the project of a new building of Korbinian bridge in Freising it came in 1808 to settlements and their technical causes a serious rift with General Wiebeking who saw to it that Huschberger and another competent construction officer, Mr, Joseph von Pigenot (1779 – after 1824), were transferred to other authorities.

Huschberger was married to Maria Theresia Berghorn. The couple had several children. Among them, Johann Ferdinand Huschberg achieved greater fame as a historian. The city of Düsseldorf honored Huschberger by naming Huschbergerstrasse , a street parallel to Königsallee in the city ​​center .
