Max Clemens von Hausen was born in Münster as the first of eight children. After school and an apprenticeship as a bricklayer in his parents' building company, he attended the State Building School in Münster until 1937 with seminars with Gustav Wolf and Hugo Kükelhaus . After serving in the war in Russia and being a prisoner of war (1940–1943), he began to study architecture at the Weimar University of Architecture and Art , a. a. with Gustav Hassenpflug . 1947–1949 he continued his studies at the Technical University of Karlsruhe with Egon Eiermanncontinued, which after his experiences in the Third Reich had a decisive influence on his access to a new, livelier architecture. He made a name for himself with the series of designs for a diaspora church made of rubble and wood, and in 1949 he was self-employed as an architect in his native Münster. From 1950 he realized his first projects there, including the unconventional home of Dr. Ludwig Klockenbusch, priest, teacher and later chairman of the art commission in the diocese of Münste, who also encouraged the young architect to come up with an alternative design for a new municipal theater in Münster . Von Hausen then merged with Harald Deilmann , Ortwin Rave and Werner Ruhnau in 1952 to form the team of architects that existed until 1955. After successfully building the theater, the team of architects also succeeded in winning the competition for the new construction of the Gelsenkirchen City Theater , which Ruhnau was later responsible for. While Deilmann and Ruhnau founded their own offices, from 1959 Ortwin Rave (1921–1992), who had studied in Braunschweig, and von Hausen developed a lifelong office partnership, in which they built numerous secular and sacred buildings as well as designs for furniture and sculptures until 1987 executed, including the Small House Münster , churches, various residential and office buildings and settlements. From 1972 to 1989 von Hausen taught at the art academies in Düsseldorf and Münster. Often during the construction projects collaboration with artists, etc. a. with Joseph Beuys , Victor Bonato , Norbert Kricke , Thomas Lenk , Georg Karl Pfahler . Her marriage to Maria Agnes Isabella in 1943 resulted in three sons. The architect Christoph von Hausen (1951–2008) was his youngest son.
