Life
Otto Schubert, son of the sculptor Hermann Schubert , studied architecture at the Technical University of Dresden from 1897 to 1892 after graduating from high school at Vitzthumsche Gymnasium . His teachers included Karl Weißbach , Paul Wallot and Cornelius Gurlitt . In 1905, Schubert began his assessment in the state building administration as a government master builder and was appointed building officer four years later and employed at the Saxon Ministry of Finance in Dresden. Schubert received his doctorate in 1906 at the Technical University of Dresden with a thesis on the Spanish Baroque and from the end of 1909 worked as a freelance architect.
Interrupted by military service from 1915 to 1918, he worked as an assistant and from 1919 as a private lecturer at the Technical University of Dresden. In 1924 Schubert became associate professor for structural design at the Technical University of Dresden. One of his students was Rolf Göpfert . Also in 1924 he married Veronika Strüver, who gave birth to her son Friedrich Hermann Schubert on August 26, 1925 .
In 1940 Otto Schubert was dismissed from the teaching post because of his lack of commitment to the "interests of the NSDAP".
After the end of the Second World War , he taught as a full professor for the history of architecture at the Technical University of Dresden until 1953 . At the same time he was director of the Institute for Structural Design and Design at the university.
