Paul Baumgarten (full name Paul Gotthilf Reinhold Baumgarten ; * May 5, 1900 in Tilsit ; † October 8, 1984 in Berlin ) was a German architect and professor at the Berlin University of the Arts (HdK).

Life

Baumgarten studied architecture from 1919 to 1924 at the Technical University of Danzig , then at the Technical University of Berlin , and then worked in the architectural office of Mebes & Emmerich in Berlin. From 1928 increasingly busy with their own jobs, he could in 1932 independently make. From 1934, as head of the construction department of Müllabfuhr AG, he built, among other things, the garbage loading station in Berlin-Charlottenburg, one of the convincing examples of New Building during National Socialism . From 1937 to 1945 he was head of the building construction office of the construction company Philipp Holzmann AG , and from 1942 he was also a university professor at the HdK Berlin.

With the construction of the HdK concert hall in 1953, where he was appointed professor in 1952, and with the reconstruction of the Reichstag, he became known in post-war Germany. His contribution to Interbau 1957, the so-called Eternit-Haus , also attracted attention . On the other hand, his further plans in residential construction, especially in settlement construction, have received less attention.

He is not related to the architect Paul Otto August Baumgarten, who was born in 1873 .
