Max Bösenberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Bösenberg (born July 3, 1847 in Leipzig ; † May 23, 1918 there ; full name: Rudolf Max Bösenberg ) was a German architect who lived and worked in Leipzig. Stylistically, his work can be assigned to historicism , mostly based on the buildings of the Italian Renaissance .

Act

Bösenberg received his training at the building trade school in Holzminden and then attended the Dresden Art Academy . He then went on several study trips to Italy before finally settling as an independent architect in his hometown Leipzig in 1874, where he incorporated the impressions gained during his trips to Italy into designs and buildings and combined them with the technical innovations of his time. In addition to his work as an architect (since 1910 in the office of Professor Bösenberg & Sohn ), Max Bösenberg also taught at the Royal Saxon Building Trade School in Leipzig . His best-known student was Clemens Thieme (1861–1945) from 1877 to 1881 , who worked in Bösenberg's office for a few years after completing his training.

In his private life, as a member of the Leipzig section of the German Alpine Club , Bösenberg was enthusiastic about mountain hiking and the preservation of nature in the Alps. As a Freemason , he was a member of the Apollo Lodge in Leipzig .

In recognition of his work for the Schimmel & Co. essential oil factory in Miltitz (factory colony and Villa Camilla ), a new residential street in the Leipzig district of Miltitz was named in Bösenbergstraße with effect from March 6, 2000.
