Ludwig Boegl
Ludwig Boegl (born August 10, 1880 in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz , † December 27, 1952 in Erfurt ) was a German civil engineer and municipal building officer , during whose tenure as the city councilor in Erfurt numerous important buildings were built.
family
Ludwig Boegl was born in Neumarkt as the son of a bookseller and book printer owner. He married Dina Weiden, who outlived him by eight years. The marriage resulted in a son who died as a soldier in World War II. Because of his ties to Erfurt, Boegl stayed in the city after 1945, which then belonged to the Soviet Zone / GDR , and worked there until his death at the age of 73.
Professional development
Boegl completed his eight-semester studies at the Technical University of Munich with the academic degree of Diplom-Ingenieur . He then worked as a trainee lawyer at various building construction offices and taught at the trade academy in Friedberg (Hesse) for two years . In 1906 he came to the construction police of the city of Erfurt, initially as a police builder . In 1907 he was promoted to police inspector and entrusted with the management of the building police office. In 1919 Boegl became a municipal building officer , in 1920 town building officer with a seat and vote in the municipal council , also responsible for housing and settlement as well as urban expansion. 1924 followed the responsibility for the high and low construction and as a theater department head . In 1932 and 1944 Boegl was re-elected to the city council and city building council. Since 1933 he was a member of the NSDAP. In 1945 he was retired under the new regime, "but continued to work under shameful conditions until his death on December 27, 1952 because of his precise knowledge of the Erfurt conditions and his extensive experience."
In addition to his main activity, Boegl was also a member of the master craftsman's examination commission for the building trade (elected chairman in 1912, to whom he remained for 25 years), co-founder of the Erfurt Association for Homeland Security, board member of the tourist association, founder and managing director of the small housing association.
power
Under the supervision of Boegl and his building construction department manager Johannes Klass , buildings were built in Erfurt in the 1920s and 1930s that also set national standards: the Great Hospital on Johannesring, the surgical clinic of the municipal hospital, the extension of the town hall and the Sparkasse am Fischmarkt, the Nordbad im Nordpark (building demolished in 2009), the sports facilities Mitteldeutsche Kampfbahn (today Steigerwaldstadion ), the new buildings of the Oberpostdirektion on Beethovenplatz, the postal check office and the Reichsbank on the regulator ring (later district military replacement office), the new building of the school "Himmelpforte" (today: Heinrich-Mann-Gymnasium Erfurt ), the government building (today part of the Thuringian state parliament ) on Hindenburgstrasse (today Arnstädter Strasse), the airport on Roten Berg (today overbuilt), the Thuringia Hall, urban terraced houses and residential areas on the outskirts. The Angermuseum was expanded, and the auditorium in the Collegium Majus of the Old University was restored in a representative way. The city's bridges have been adapted to the new traffic conditions and the sewer system has been modernized. Under Boegl, new building regulations for the city were issued. He set up the city planning and expansion office. Boegl also operated the incorporation of neighboring villages, which took place in 1940 and 1952. He paid attention to a concentric expansion of the city (which was not followed after him). A town hall - in connection with the sports facilities and the abandoned southern cemetery - could not be realized as a major concern of Boegl.
