biography

Paul Frölich and the architect Friedrich Wellermann have been running the Wellermann & Frölich architectural office in Bremen since the end of the 19th century, which has helped shape the appearance of the city through numerous remarkable buildings. Her office was initially in the building at Richtweg 3 in 1898, from 1899 to 1901 at An der Weide14, then for two years in the office building they built at Am Wall 163 and from 1904 until 1936 at Kohlhökerstraße 37. Wellermann & Frölich designed striking buildings that, in their most successful period before the First World War, were generally Baroque style elements with a the English country style influenced modern design language. Among the firm's earliest works in 1899 were the asylum for women in maternity leave on the grounds of the “Am Schwarzen Meer” hospital and the country house of the businessman Caspar Kulenkampff in St. Magnus; From 1907 ship fittings for the North German Lloyd , the Hotel Atlantic in Hamburg, numerous residential buildings, especially in the Parkviertel - three of them on the Stern alone -, the Schröder Bank in Obernstrasse (todayPeek & Cloppenburg ) and finally from 1927 various extensions to the St. Joseph Foundation.

In Buergerpark Wellermann & Fröhlich are represented by numerous buildings. The cooperation between the architects and the Bürgerparkverein may have developed so favorably in 1903 with the construction of the game reserve donated from the legacy of the Bremen banker Bernhard Loose that the architects not only received the order to replace the Niemann Bridge, but also the were able to design two island bridges on Emmasee west of the coffee house with the Hoffmann Pavilion. Wellermann & Fröhlich also designed the Melcherspavilion, donated by Consul Carl Theodor Melchers in 1905, for the Bürgerparkverein and the beautiful supervisor's house in the city forest.
