Moritz Hadda

Moritz Hadda (born January 16, 1887 in Cosel , Upper Silesia , † 1942 in the Riga-Kaiserwald concentration camp ) was a German architect who lived and worked in Breslau .

Life

Moritz Hadda came from a Jewish family. His parents were the businessman Martin Hadda (born April 23, 1859; † beginning of May 1943 in Ghetto Theresienstadt) and Martha Juliusburger (born August 5, 1857; † April 4, 1939 Breslau). His older brother was the surgeon Dr. med. Siegmund Hadda (born July 23, 1882 in Cosel, † 1977 New Gardens, New York State, USA). He spent his childhood in Cosel . At the beginning of the twentieth century his family moved to Wroclaw.

He studied from 1911 to 1913 at the Breslau Academy for Arts and Crafts under Hans Poelzig . After completing his studies, he began to work with Ludwig Schlesinger in 1917, with whom he ran an architecture office until 1928. Her designs included interiors for several shops, but also for a cabaret or for a Masonic lodge . Hadda also worked as a teacher of technical subjects. In 1925 he became a member of the “Young Silesia” working group , an avant-garde group of architects, writers , visual artists and musicians . In 1928 he was appointed to the Association of German Architects (BDA).

After the National Socialists came to power, he was banned from working. He then devoted himself to working for the Jewish community. On November 21, 1941 he was deported to the Riga ghetto and was probably shot in the Kaiserwald.
