Pflegehard and Haefeli
Pflegehard und Haefeli was a Zurich architecture firm that helped shape construction in Zurich and German-speaking Switzerland in the first quarter of the 20th century - also through competition successes. In addition to numerous commercial buildings and villas, Pflegehard and Haefeli have also made an appearance as hospital builders and in the Protestant-Reformed church building.

Otto Pflegehard
Otto Pflegehard (born December 12, 1869 in St. Gallen , † October 30, 1958 in Zurich ) was the son of a St. Gallen confectioner. After attending the St. Gallen Cantonal School, he studied architecture with Max Haefeli, who was of the same age, at the ETH Zurich , where he graduated from Friedrich Bluntschli in 1892 . After a job with Heinrich Ernst and from 1893–1895 together with Haefeli at an architecture firm in Wiesbaden , after his return in 1895 he worked for the newly elected city architect Gustav Gull . Here he got to know - as with Ernst, who was technically and economically very ambitious, where he worked on " Haus Metropol " - how to handle large and complex projects; At that time Gull was building the Swiss National Museum . In 1897 he took over Ernst's office, and a year later he founded the joint office with Haefeli, which lasted until 1925. He quickly took over the technical and administrative side of the task.
After the joint office was closed, Pflegehard ran an office with his son Otto Pflegehard jun. Furthermore, several department stores, commercial buildings and many industrial buildings fall into this period.
Otto Pflegehard became involved early on in his professional representation, the Swiss Association of Engineers and Architects (SIA). In 1906 he was elected to the board of the Zurich section ZIA, of which he was president from 1909. As chairman and member of numerous commissions, especially on standards, but also on contracts, the architect's fee schedule and various building law issues, he played a key role in consolidating his profession. In 1920 he was therefore made an honorary member of the SIA. He was a committed alumnus of his university and campaigned for the appointment and the design of chairs - so the establishment of the still quite new task of an urban planning professorship went back to his initiative. With Arthur Rohn he was responsible for the construction of the first student dormitory at ETH, which opened in 1930. As a politician of the Liberals, he was represented for a long time in both the Zurich City Council and the Cantonal Council of Zurich . For a short time he was a national councilor .
Max Haefeli

Max Haefeli (born December 4, 1869 in Giseli near Lucerne , † March 27, 1941 in Barbengo ) was the son of a Lucerne hotelier. Like his partner, he studied at the ETH, where he also graduated from Bluntschli in 1893, where he also worked until he went to Wiesbaden with Pflegehard to work at Schellenberg . Unlike Pflegehard, however, he did not return to Switzerland in 1895, but worked in 1896 for Gustav Erdmann and Ernst Spindler ( Erdmann and Spindler ) in Berlin and in 1897 for Schuling and Gräbner in Dresden. When he founded the joint office with Pflegehard, he took over the management of the technical office and was probably responsible for the drafts, was his "artistic soul".
At the end of 1925 he left the joint office to continue working with his son Max Ernst Haefeli like his partner . Haefeli had a lively exchange with his colleagues and had an open house in his planned own residences in Im Guggi and Doldertal in Zurich and the old age home of Campo d'Oro near Lugano.

Initially, the office was able to seamlessly tie in with the construction work of Heinrich Ernst's predecessor office: The first historicist - quite representative - residential and commercial buildings, such as the Haus zur Trülle, consisting of Gothic and neo-Renaissance forms, on Bahnhofstrasse or the Baroque Utoschloss on Lake Zurich, were similar in terms of the building program to the Building equipment originating from English models, such as the " Haus Metropol " and the " Red Castle ", from the lavish decor .
After the young architects were commissioned by Willem Jan Holsboer to build the Schatzalp sanatorium in 1898 , they were subsequently able to build a number of sanatoriums and hospitals. In addition, they built several Reformed churches, such as the Reformed Kreuzkirche in Zurich, a homage to their teacher Bluntschli and the Weinfelden church .
After the turn of the century, the office was one of the most successful in Zurich. Among other things, a number of commercial and office buildings for the flourishing silk embroidery industry in St. Gallen were built alongside many private houses in which they - as representatives of the Heimat style - “mastered the use of new building materials and developed a specific 'living culture'” . The office, which had had a branch office in St. Gallen since 1904, also built the main post office there .
