Life

Ludwig Lohde attended the Friedrichwerder grammar school , studied with Karl Friedrich Schinkel at the Berlin Building Academy and entered Schinkel's studio at an early age. For a long time he and Gustav Stier were among the company's best draftsmen and later, after Schinkel's death, he also published some of his writings ( Schinkel's furniture designs , 1835–1837). At the beginning of the 1840s he lived temporarily in Vienna , where he edited the Allgemeine Bauzeitung . He changed more and more from a practitioner to theorist and scientist and became one of the first building researchers. Lohde later taught as a professor at the Royal Commercial Institute in Berlin, and at times also at the Bauakademie. In 1854/55 he published the four-volume work Gailhabaud's Monuments of Architecture in conjunction with Franz Kugler and Jacob Burckhardt . He achieved such a high reputation that he was allowed to give the keynote address for the Winckelmann Festival of the Archaeological Society in Berlin in 1860 , which also appeared as the 20th program for the Winckelmann Festival of the Archaeological Society in Berlin . His research mainly focused on the architecture of the ancient Greeks and Romans, but also on the architectural history of Cologne Cathedral . With Franz Mertens he provided the proof that the Gothic had its beginning in France.

Lohde married the writer Clarissa Leyden (1836–1915) in 1866 , she was later married to Lohde's close friend Karl Bötticher , her third marriage . He was a close ally of Bötticher in spreading his theories, which he also passed on to his students as an academic teacher. His son Max Lohde was a well-known history painter.
