Paul Schaarschmidt
Paul Schaarschmidt (born September 9, 1874 in Lengenfeld in Vogtland ; † August 31, 1955 in Coburg ) was a German architect and builder .
Live and act
Schaarschmidt attended the building trade school in Plauen , like his later competitor Carl Otto Leheis a few years earlier . After graduating, he began as an employee with initial construction planning in Oldenburg , Bremen and Berlin . The move to Coburg followed in 1900. Schaarschmidt only worked for a few months in Carl Otto Leheis' office until he founded his own construction business in 1901. In the following years he worked as an architect and contractor, but also executed buildings according to designs by other architects and was active in civil engineering (e.g. building the Mohrenbrücke ). With Carl Bauer , Max Böhme , Carl Otto Leheis and August Berger , Paul Schaarschmidt was one of the most important representatives of Art Nouveau in Coburg.
He founded together with other Coburg Bauhütte that the Masonic Lodge to Frankish crown was connected. The building guild later emerged from the Coburg Bauhütte . Schaarschmidt was chief master of the Coburg-Stadt building guild, from 1913 to 1933 and 1945 to 1954, and honorary chief master of the building works, and in 1925 the Bavarian state government appointed him to the trade council for services to his profession . On December 7, 1924, Schaarschmidt was elected to the Coburg City Council on the list of the economic bloc, where he was active in the building senate and theater committee. In 1948 he retired into private life. His construction business existed until 1968 under the direction of his son Werner as a building construction, civil engineering and concrete construction company in Oberer Leopoldstrasse.
