Paul Hakenholz

Paul Hakenholz (born February 24, 1872 in Staßfurt , † August 4, 1950 in Marktheidenfeld ) was a German architect .

life and work

Paul Hakenholz teamed up with the architect Paul Brandes at an early stage . In 1901 they submitted a joint competition design for a Neckar bridge in Mannheim , which was developed in collaboration with the construction company Bernhard Liebold & Co. AG in Holzminden.

From 1903 the Siebethsburg workers' colony in Wilhelmshaven was built according to a plan by Hakenholz and Brandes. The architects had designed a country-style building for this estate between Störtebekerstrasse and Papingastrasse. The author Ingo Sommer sees this as a move towards the “German variant of the garden city . In Siebethsburg, "said Sommer," the cheerful closeness to nature and the unspent idealism of the Rüstringen building association, founded in 1903, led to a strong rapprochement with the garden city ideal of Hellerau ", even if Brandes and Hakenholz, who had established their architectural office in Hanover, established themselves at this time still based on the English country house architecture and its Berlin adaptations. The Bauverein Rüstringen worked together with the architect duo from Hanover for decades before, after the synchronization in 1933, the further work on Siebethsburg was transferred to the well-known Hamburg architect Fritz Höger .

Convalescence home Friedrichshöhe in Bad Pyrmont

Together with Brandes, Hakenholz also designed the Hohenlychen sanatorium, including the Helenenkapelle and Müllrose , which was inaugurated in 1904, and the Friedrichshöhe convalescent home in Bad Pyrmont, at the beginning of the 20th century . In 1910 a children's rest home of the Fatherland Women's Association was built in Bevensen , Ebstorfer Strasse 50, based on plans by Hakenholz and Brandes . Facing the street, this complex had a half-timbered dining room with an ornamented ornamental gable, the bedrooms were in an outbuilding. The former children's rest home is now a listed building .

Around 1905 a civil servants' house in Fähr-Lobbendorf was built according to plans by the architect duo. A sales advertisement for this building reads: “This town house with echoes of Art Nouveau was built around 1905 in massive form as a civil servants' house by the Spar- und Bauverein Blumenthal based on designs by the architects Hakenholz and Brand from Hanover. The facade is attractively structured by alternating between brick and plastered surfaces. The roof overhang and the indicated bay are decorated with crossed horse heads. "

In the advanced years, Hakenholz was still active as an architect, but apparently no longer in an office community with Brandes. The Deutsche Bauzeitung reported in 1935 about a building permit for the client K. Ehrhardt at Langemarckstraße 9 and named as the architect “P. Hakenholz, Alleestraße 5 ”, apparently in Hanover, while Hakenholz's address in 1907 was Maschstraße 5.

Hakenholz was a member of the German Alpine Club and was a member of the board of the Hanover branch. He wrote and revised tourist guides a. For example, the volume Der Turist am Gardasee by Ewald Haufe was published in Leipzig in 1933 in an arrangement by Paul Hakenholz, and as early as 1907 he had reported about mountain trips on Tenerife in volume 18 of the association organ Mitteilungen des Deutschen and Österreichischer Alpenverein , in 1911 in the German Alpine newspaper about mountain hikes on Lake Garda , in 1927 he wrote about mountain tours on Madeira . Sometimes he combined his architectural interests with his mountaineering skills and wrote writings such as Picturesque Buildings on Lake Garda .

On April 19, 1909, Hakenholz married Cläre Zacharias, who came from the city, in Hanover. Her two children Margarete and Hans-Joachim were born there. The air raids on the city from 1940 onwards caused Hakenholz and his wife to move to Marktheidenfeld on October 16, 1943. There he was still working as an architect for a city house in 1948/49. He died in the Marktheidenfeld hospital on August 4, 1950.
