Life

Ole-Falk Ebbell was the son of the Norwegian architect Ole Falck Ebbell (1839-1919), who u. a. designed the church in Snillfjord , consecrated in 1899 . He passed his engineering examination in Trondheim in 1910 and did further training at the Technical University of Dresden . In 1913 he moved to Basel , where he initially worked for the Basler Baugesellschaft. In the engineering office founded in 1907, he joined forces with Leuprecht in 1919 and from then on worked as a freelancer.

Ebbell was one of the pioneers who worked as a civil engineer with reinforced concrete. He was involved in the construction of the Bernina Railway, the ward building of the Bürgerspital Basel , built factory buildings in Basel and Alsace and implemented the Plastelin model of Rudolf Steiner of the second Goetheanum in statically complex calculations. He had previously been commissioned to build the boiler house and the Duldeck house.

Ebell remained active as an engineer in Basel until he was 73. The office was later continued under the name Lüem AG Ingenieurbüro. In 1953 he moved to Bern, where he died in 1969.
