Life

Eugen Haueisen came from a master builder family. After studying in Munich and Berlin, he decided to first emigrate to the USA. There he met his wife Regine Conrath and married her. The couple soon returned to Germany, where Haueisen worked for BASF from 1874 until his retirement . Haueisen was the first architect to work for the company. He was the head of the BASF construction office, which was newly established in 1874, and later the construction department.

He not only planned the “ Hemshofkolonie ” workers' estate for BASF, but also the BASF Gesellschaftshaus, along with other apartment blocks for BASF employees, the head office, the main laboratory and twin houses for senior employees and directors. Werner Abelshauser described the Hemshof buildings as the products of an "aesthetically lackluster company housing [s]". In Limburgerhof , the buildings of Brunckstraße 1–39 (odd house numbers), Sieglestraße 1–40, Speyerer Straße 22–32 (even house numbers) of the “Old Colony” are under monument protection .
