Max Brockert (* 1870 in Einberg ; † 1962 in Erfurt ) was a German architect .

Life

Max Brockert studied architecture at the teaching facility of the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin , a. a. with Alfred Messel . From around 1903 he lived in Erfurt, where he founded an architecture office and built a house on what was then Hohenzollernstraße, now Alfred-Hess-Straße. In the decades that followed, villas, residential and commercial buildings, churches and industrial plants were built according to his plans throughout Thuringia. His architectural style is shaped by the late Art Nouveau and the homeland security movement , whereby he only used decorative elements very sparingly and effectively. He was one of the most influential architects in Erfurt in the first half of the 20th century.

A street in the Ringelberg settlement in Erfurt is named after Max Brockert .
