Life

Kieschke received his school education in Berlin and Königsberg .

As part of his legal clerkship , he worked in Berlin under Fritz Zastrau , Wilhelm Neumann , Martin Gropius and Heino Schmieden .

In 1878 Kieschke won the Schinkel competition organized by the Berlin Architects' Association . This enabled him to travel to Italy for one year in 1879/1880 after passing the government master builder examination (second state examination) . Kieschke won his first architecture competition in 1888. It was a design for the club house of the Christian Merchants Association in Breslau , which he was subsequently entrusted with.

At the same time he began his work in the Prussian Ministry of Public Works in Berlin. At the beginning he worked there in the technical office of the building construction department. After an interim position at the police headquarters as a government and building officer from 1894, he returned to the Ministry of Public Works in 1898 as head of the technical office in the building construction department. In 1902 he was promoted to the secret senior building officer and took over the management of the department for ministerial and administrative buildings.
