Raabe & Wöhlecke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Altona architectural community of Ludwig Raabe and Otto Wöhlecke was an important architectural office for Hamburg , which designed many representative buildings as well as numerous stations for the ring line of the elevated and underground railway before the First World War .

Ludwig Raabe (* August 13, 1862 in Holstein , near Kiel , † April 4, 1931) studied at the Technische Hochschule Hannover architecture . He was a student of Conrad Wilhelm Hase as well as a member of the Bauhütte zum Weißen Blatt and can therefore be assigned to the Hanover School. After graduation, he worked for the renowned Altona architect Albert Winkler .

Otto Wöhlecke (born April 7, 1872 in Magdeburg ; † March 28, 1920 in Bad Lauterberg in the Harz Mountains ) also studied architecture at the Technical University of Hanover and became a member of the Corps Slesvico-Holsatia here in 1892 . Like Albert Winkler and Ludwig Raabe, he was a student of Conrad Wilhelm Hase and thus a representative of the Hanover School.

After Albert Winkler's death in 1901, Ludwig Raabe and Otto Wöhlecke took over his office, which Raabe initially ran alone after Wöhlecke's death in 1920 until he took on Kurt Stoltenberg as a partner in 1927. In 1930 Stoltenberg took over the Raabe & Wöhlecke office and continued to run it under his own name.

The architectural style used by Raabe & Wöhlecke is also known as Hamburg's reform architecture . It was an attempt to overcome historicism and Art Nouveau and to create a modern and representative appearance. The buildings erected in this way were usually clad with natural stone and had ceramic wall designs and wrought iron banisters.
