from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto Stiehl (born June 24, 1860 in Magdeburg ; † June 4, 1940 ; full name: Otto Max Johannes Stiehl ) was a German architect , municipal construction officer , specialist writer and university professor .

Life

Town hall Gardelegen

Stiehl studied architecture with Carl Schäfer at the Technical University (Berlin-) Charlottenburg in the 1880s . The first drafts for an artist's house have been handed down from this time.

Under the influence of Schäfer, who mainly dealt with the architecture of the Middle Ages , Stiehl began to write specialist books on this area in addition to his practical work. He was able to deepen his knowledge through study trips to various countries.

After graduating in 1886, he got a job as a municipal architect under the Berlin city planning officer Ludwig Hoffmann . He worked as a government and city building inspector on designs for municipal facilities and was involved in building inspections. There is evidence that, in addition to Berlin and the surrounding area, he was also active in Silesia and Poland .

In 1899 he also became a private lecturer at the Technical University of Charlottenburg. In 1905 he received a professorship there .

Stiehl was married and lived in what was then the Berlin suburb of Steglitz (now the district of Berlin-Steglitz ), Lessingstrasse 6 on the ground floor of an apartment building.

On November 19, 1920 he was awarded the Technical University of Braunschweig , the honorary doctorate . In addition, Stiehl was appointed as a member of the Prussian Academy of Building . Around 1923, the building authorities of the Berlin magistrate promoted him to senior building officer. Finally Otto Stiehl retired in 1925 .

He was buried in the Steglitz cemetery.

Buildings and designs

Detailed view of the reconstructed Gothic paintwork on the facade of the Marienkirche in Frankfurt (Oder)
Gable on the south side of the St. Nikolai Church in Berlin-Spandau
  • 1902/1903: Extension of the stepped gable to the south chapel of the St. Nikolai Church in Berlin-Spandau
  • 1902-1904: 240./254. Community double school in Berlin-Moabit, Waldenser Straße 20/21 (together with Ludwig Hoffmann, Georg Matzdorff and Carl Roemert )
  • 1903–1906: Restoration of the south gable of the town hall in Frankfurt (Oder)
    With his knowledge of buildings from the Middle Ages, Stiehl succeeded in revealing the original impressive color scheme of black, green, red and white, sometimes applied directly to the bricks, after uncovering the remains to make visible.
  • 1905/1906: School in Berlin-Wedding, Bochumer Straße (collaboration)
    The parts of the building that have been preserved have been used by the Berlin State Technical School since 1937.
  • 1907: Reconstruction of the Salzwedeler Tor in the city wall of Gardelegen
  • 1907: Gym for a school built in Berlin-Moabit in 1891 , Alt-Moabit / Wilsnacker Straße
    The single-storey, compact brick building with a hipped roof is relatively inconspicuously subordinate to the neighboring church buildings by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Friedrich August Stüler thanks to arched windows and unadorned brick surfaces.
  • 1907: New school building in Berlin-Friedrichshain, Zwinglistraße (collaboration)
  • 1908/1909: Friedrichshain fire station, Memeler Straße (since 1950 Marchlewskistraße )
  • 1910: Roman villa for the 2nd  clay, cement and lime industry exhibition in Berlin 1910
  • 1914: Gym (with school kitchen) as an extension of the 168./182./189 completed in 1895. Community school in Berlin-Moabit (architects Hermann Blankenstein and Fridolin Zekeli)
  • 1913/1914: Town hall in Tangermünde (brick building with decorative facade)
  • 1914/1915: Total reconstruction and extension to the town hall in Gardelegen (made of partially plastered brick masonry; the builder Tobias Thieme was also involved in the renovation work to the town hall ("Hausmannsturm").)
  • 1915/1916: Memorial stone for the Tartars in Zehrensdorf (now part of Wünsdorf )
    The Tartars and other foreigners were used by the Allies in the First World War and were taken prisoner by Germany . Around 600 fighters died and were given their final resting place in the former village cemetery. The Prussian War Ministry initiated the construction of the war grave memorial . The stone, designed by the architect Otto Stiehl, who was deputy commander of the Wünsdorf special camps at the time, contained the following inscription in German and Turkotatar: "Gravesite of the Muslim Kazan Tartars who were prisoners of war who died under the government of Wilhelm II during the World War" . The Tatar monument was inaugurated during the Bayram Festival (the festival of breaking the fast ) in August 1916 in the presence of Turkish officers and the ambassador. Further memorial stones have been erected for the other deceased. In the decades that followed, the cemetery was forgotten, nature overgrown much and the later location in the camp of the Soviet armed forces did its part. In 1995 it was restored.
