Max Hasak

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Hasak (born February 15, 1856 in Wansen , Strehlen district ; † September 14, 1934 in Berlin ) was a German architect , construction clerk and architecture writer.

Life

Max Hasak was born in Silesia as the son of the lawyer and notary Josef Hasak. As a student at the König-Wilhelm-Gymnasium in Reichenbach am Eulengebirge , where he also received his school-leaving certificate, he showed a strong interest in Latin, art and church history. From 1876 to 1880 Hasak studied architecture at the Berlin Bauakademie .

In 1880 he passed the building foreman examination "with distinction" and in 1883 the building master examination. After working on the design of the Ethnological Museum , he was assigned to the ministerial commission in Berlin as a master builder. The honorable reputation for working on large building plans for the Reichsbank became decisive for his further life. According to his drafts or with his collaboration, Reichsbank buildings were built in various cities in Germany between 1884 and 1905. They testify to Hasak's excellent service to the state. This is particularly evident in the classic main facade of the Reichsbank on Hausvogteiplatz in Berlin. In addition, Hasak carried out the new construction of the Bode Museum as the state site manager and led the construction of the Pergamon Museum in its first form.

The extraordinary talent in design and his thorough mastery of the building construction prompted him to be appointed to the ministerial building commission to process designs for churches.

During and after the creation of numerous secular buildings, Hasak found his way to ecclesiastical architecture, especially after he left civil service in 1906. Many church buildings in Berlin and the provinces place him in the forefront of the Catholic church builders of his time.

One of his first structures was the copper roofing carried out under his direction and the crowning of the dome of St. Hedwig's Cathedral with the lantern. A comparison of the draft with the later found copperplate engraving by Jean Laurent Legeay showed the complete agreement with the original: a proof of Hasak's fine empathy with the classical epoch of the Frederician period.

Even after his successful work as a master builder, Hasak did not allow himself any rest. Numerous articles in specialist and art magazines testify to his versatile knowledge and skills. His monographs "The Cologne Cathedral", "The Minster in Strasbourg", "The St. Hedwig's Church in Berlin" with numerous certificates and excellent photographs show Hasak's importance not only as a church builder, but also as an art historian. In recognition of his services to research into medieval art, he received an honorary doctorate from the Technical University of Danzig in 1926 .
