Mohr & Weidner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The architects' association Mohr & Weidner was an office working association of the architects Carl Mohr and Paul Weidner founded in 1906 in what was then the city of Charlottenburg near Berlin . It had specialized in the construction of hospitals and other municipal facilities across Germany and was dissolved in the 1950s after Weidner died. At least 30 German hospitals, sanatoriums, military hospitals and the like can be proven to go back to the work of Mohr and Weidner.

Carl Mohr (born January 2, 1878 in Neubrandenburg ; † December 1, 1958 in Berlin-Charlottenburg ) was the son of the shoemaker Christian Wilhelm Otto Mohr (1838–1927) and his wife Marie Friederike Wilhelmine Mohr, born. Schröder (1844-1925). In his hometown he attended high school and graduated from it at Easter 1895 with the high school diploma for Obersekunda. Then (1895-1896) Carl Mohr completed an apprenticeship as a bricklayer and became a journeyman. Parallel to his practical training, he studied at the Royal Prussian Building Trade School Höxter , from which he graduated in 1898 with the distinction excellent . This was followed by several years of practical experience in several well-known architectural offices and in various cities, including Mündelein  & Sirrenberg in Paderborn (1898/1899), H. & Th. Hermann in Neuwied (1899/1900), Knoch & Kallmeyer in Halle (Saale) ( 1900–1903), Johannes Kraaz in Berlin (1903–1905). In the years from 1900 to 1905 Carl Mohr perfected his basic knowledge as a guest student at the Technical University (Berlin-) Charlottenburg .

From 1903 Carl Mohr became self-employed as an architect in Charlottenburg , but as early as 1906 he joined forces with Paul Weidner to form an architectural community that had its office in Bismarckstrasse 79 and soon established a special design office for the construction and furnishing of hospitals, clinics, sanatoriums, Sanatoriums etc. named. The collaboration lasted until Weidner's death in 1954, and in 1939 Carl Mohr's son, Karlfriedrich Mohr (1910–1976), joined the working group. Carl Mohr lived privately in the house at Windscheidstrasse 40 in Charlotenburg.

In World War I, Carl Mohr made military service.

When the position of a deputy government master builder in the Berlin III military building authority was to be filled in Spandau , he became a building officer . Gradually he took on other functions: He became head of the construction department of the ammunition factory Spandau (1917-1919) and deputy head of the construction department of Deutsche Werke AG (1920/1921).

Carl Mohr was married. It is not known whether he had any other children besides Karlfriedrich Mohr. He was buried in 1958 at the Heerstraße forest cemetery.
