from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oskar Josef Kramer (* 1871 ; † 1946 ) was a German architect and Saxon construction clerk who mainly worked in Dresden .

Life

Royal Saxon Regional Court of Dresden, 1908
University Women's Clinic Leipzig, 1953

Oskar Kramer was a ministerial advisor in the building department of the Saxon finance ministry and is considered a representative of the reform architecture . Kramer designed the Saxon Pavilion for the Leipzig International Building Exhibition in 1913 . One of his most important buildings is the Royal Saxon Regional Court of Dresden, built from 1902 to 1907, with a judicial prison on Münchner Platz, which is now used by the Technical University of Dresden ( Georg-Schumann , Tillich and Hülsse building complex).

In 1924 he arranged for the Zwingerbauhütte to be set up , which contributed to the rescue of the Dresden Zwinger , which was then in severe disrepair . Hubert Georg Ermisch was appointed to manage it .

Another building is the former Saxon State School on Thümmelsberg in Klotzsche , which Kramer built together with Heinrich Tessenow from 1925 to 1927 and which is one of the most important examples of modern architecture in Dresden in the first half of the 20th century. Until 1934 the building was used as a boarding school, under the National Socialists as a National Political Education Institute (NAPOLA) and after the end of the war by the Soviet Army . Since 2001 it has been the headquarters of the Academy for Occupational Safety and Health.

Oskar Kramer also created the university women's clinic (opened in 1928) and the directly adjacent orthopedic university clinic (opened in 1930) on Philipp-Rosenthal-Strasse in Leipzig (today part of the university clinic ).

In 1926, the TH Dresden made him an honorary senator.
