Lambert of Fisenne
Lambert von Fisenne (born August 5, 1852 in Geilenkirchen , † December 8, 1903 in Recklinghausen ; full name: Lambert Heinrich Hubert Joseph Maria Freiherr von Fisenne ) was a German architect and author .
Life
Lambert Freiherr von Fisenne came as the tenth of twelve children from the aristocratic and wealthy Rhenish-Walloon family von Fisenne and was the son of the tax collector and progenitor of the Geilenkirchen branch, August Joseph von Fisenne. From 1871 to 1875 he studied at the Technical University of Aachen , where he was a founding member of the Catholic student association K.St.V. Carolingia Aachen in KV .
After completing his studies, he trained in Gent / Belgium with the architect Auguste van Assche and as a member of the St. Thomas and St. Luke Guild. He also met his first wife in Ghent. After their marriage in 1884, the young couple moved into their parents' house in Meerssen near Maastricht . Two years after the untimely death of his wife in 1891, he moved to Gelsenkirchen, where his brother Albert Franz was a building officer, and in 1893 he married Maria Pieper from Gelsenkirchen for the second time. In 1896 he also opened a construction office in Koblenz with a focus on church buildings. In 1900, the architect Leopold Schweitzer (1871-1937) joined as a junior partner after he had retired from civil service as a government master builder ( assessor in public construction).
Fisenne, who was at home in both German and French, saw the Rhine-Maas region as a cultural unit. He built the majority of his more than 50 churches, monasteries and chapels in this area. He restored and expanded Romanesque and Gothic churches and some castles. In doing so, he used local building materials whenever possible. One of his most famous secular buildings is the Neo-Baroque Koblenz Festival Hall, designed together with the architect Ehrhard Müller (destroyed in 1944).
