Paul Lehmgrübner
Paul Lehmgrübner (born April 17, 1855 in Werder (Havel) , † April 16, 1916 in Kassel ) was a German architect and Prussian construction officer who stood out above all outside of his official duties as a monument conservator .
Life
Paul Lehmgrübner attended a grammar school in Potsdam and completed his studies at the Technical University of Charlottenburg , which he successfully completed in 1884 with the 1st state examination. He began a legal clerkship as a government construction manager , first he worked in Magdeburg , then as a construction manager in the restoration of the collegiate church of the Marienborn monastery (1885) and the new building of the church nave in Barneberg (1884-1885). In 1889, Lehmgrübner passed the 2nd state examination with “excellent exam performance” and was appointed government master builder ( assessor in the public building administration). In the following seven years he was responsible for the renovation of the Willibrordi Church in Wesel . Then he planned the new construction of the steeples of the Marienkirche in Mühlhausen (Thuringia) . From 1898 to 1905 he was a district building inspector in Prenzlau , after which he managed the new construction of the regional council and the shipping building in Stettin until 1913 . From 1913 he headed the Prussian building authority Kassel II , where he died of a serious illness in 1916.
In addition to his official work, Lehmgrübner devoted himself to studying and maintaining old buildings, especially from the Middle Ages. He made extensive building recordings of architectural monuments and used to "never (...) go out without a sketchbook". The buildings that he documented particularly extensively during his time in Wesel include the town hall of Wesel and the town hall of Bocholt as well as the collegiate church in Xanten . For these studies he received the Boissonnet Prize of the Technical University of Charlottenburg in 1897 , a grant for a three-month study trip. During this time he took up medieval half-timbered houses, in particular the town hall of Michelstadt , the town hall of Duderstadt , the town hall of Wernigerode , the town hall of Alsfeld and the town hall of Schwalenberg . He published the results in a book in 1905. He no longer completed a planned second volume on Haustein townhouses, but carried out preparatory work to record the town halls of Einbeck , Goslar , Göttingen and Hannoversch Münden . He published his findings in various building and monument preservation journals.
