Laurits Albert Winstrup

Laurits Albert Winstrup (born January 28, 1815 in Copenhagen , † April 4, 1889 in Kolding ) was a Danish architect and royal building inspector who worked mainly in the Duchy of Schleswig and Jutland during the transition from classicism to historicism .

Life

education

Winstrup was the son of the sales representative Christian Winstrup († 1823) and Magdalena Kristine geb. Meyer (1794-1848). LA Winstrup enjoyed drawing from an early age, so he began taking drawing lessons as a child. After his confirmation, he began an apprenticeship as a painter and at the same time got access to the schools of the Royal Danish Academy of Art , to be trained there under Christian Frederik Hansen as a builder. In his private life he made designs for the architect Hans Christian Hansen and after his departure for Gustav Friedrich von Hetsch . Winstrup also worked as a drawing teacher at the Efterslægtselskabets Skole in the 1830s . In 1836 he was awarded the small CF Hansen silver medal and then the large one (for a customs building). With private support, he went on a trip to Germany in the same year - together with Theophil von Hansen , who moved on to Greece. After a few unsuccessful attempts, he won the small gold medal in 1814 and the large gold medal in 1845 in the competition for an exemplary theater. Shortly before that, he won the Neuhausische Premium for an iron foundry.

Travel and appointment as city architect

After Winstrup ended his academic career, he made another short trip to Germany with the support of the Reiersenske Fond . As a teacher he taught at the 1st and 2nd construction school of the Royal Danish Academy, as a construction manager he worked for Hetsch on the construction of the Basnæs manor. In 1846 he conceived designs for the renovation and expansion of Dómkirkja in Reykjavík . On January 1, 1847, he received a travel grant from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, which took him to Italy, Greece, Asia Minor, France and England. In the fifth year he gave up his scholarship in favor of a post as city architect in Flensburg . The appointment reached him during a stay at the London Industrial Exhibition in 1851 .

During his time in Flensburg, Winstrup was made a knight of the Dannebrog Order on January 6, 1854 , and was one of the first artists to be accepted as a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Art, after new statutes were introduced on July 5, 1858. On November 26th he married Johanne Andrea Fischer (* 1819), daughter of the forestry council and chief forester Henrik Georg Frederik Fischer (1781–1829) and Meta (Mette) Elisabeth f. Pedersen († 1857). In Flensburg he designed a number of buildings and construction plans, including the state house and the meeting house of the higher court of appeal as well as the Latin school there (cf. Altes Gymnasium (Flensburg) ) and in Haderslev . His most important house, which is still in Flensburg today, is the Lutherhaus (originally: Hargens Haus or Hargens hus ) at Lutherpark (Flensburg) . At the same time as his construction work, he took over the supervision of the Glücksburg moated castle for the Ministry of Finance , took care of the buildings for customs and hunting in Schleswig and worked as a church curator from 1853.

Royal Building Inspector

In 1860 Winstrup was appointed royal builder for Schleswig and North Jutland, with accommodation in Kolding . After the German-Danish War in 1864, the loss of South Jutland significantly reduced his work environment. In 1862 he was appointed professor, in 1869 as councilor, in 1855 as Dannebrogsmand and in 1886 as an honorary member of the Royal Danish Academy of Art.

In Kolding, Winstrup was behind a number of larger works, including the Kolding Town Hall, the detention center, Dalby Church and renovations at Sønder Stenderup Kirke and Sankt Nikolaj Kirke. In addition, he designed the customs office in Aarhus and Marstal , the town halls in Ærøskøbing and Varde , a hospital in Vejle including renovations at the Franciscan Hospital and the Franciscan Monastery Church in Odense .

Winstrup died during his tenure in Kolding on April 4, 1889. A year after his death, his grandson arranged for his draft plans to be donated to the library of the art academy.
