biography

Säum studied architecture at the Technical University of Berlin in the 1920s . Student of Hans Poelzig, Säum graduates with a doctorate. First he worked in the architecture office of Hermann Jansen in Berlin. In 1932 he founded his own office in Berlin with his college friend Günther Hafemann . Here they were mainly involved in planning for urban development work.

After the Second World War , the two of them founded an architectural association in Bremen in 1948. After a few industrial buildings, warehouse I and the grain plant in the port, the office was able to achieve a broader range of tasks thanks to competitive successes. They planned and implemented mainly for the Bremen housing association GEWOBA residential complexes in Neuenland and Neue Vahr and the Kohlmannstrasse residential complex (1956) as well as the Siemens high-rise and the Tivoli high-rise.
