Paul Tafel (* around 1875; † after 1950) was a German architect .

Life

Nothing is known about the origin and education of Tafel. Around 1903 he appeared for the first time in association with the architect Bernutz in Sorau (Niederlausitz). The first residential, commercial and factory buildings published in the trade press were built in and around Sorau and in neighboring Sagan . Around 1910, Tafel moved to Duisburg , perhaps via Cologne-Kalk , where he built workers' housing estates and apartment buildings for building cooperatives and private individuals. Between 1911 and 1914 he designed and supervised the buildings of the Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG (GBAG) in Luxembourg's Esch-sur-Alzette and the neighboring Lorraine German-Oth (Audun-le-Tiche), especially the residential and artistically demanding ones Factory and administrative buildings in connection with the new construction project of the Adolf-Emil-Hütte , increasingly also buildings for the hut , which also belongs to GBAG, and the ore mine St. Michel in Deutsch-Oth. With these elaborate buildings, Tafel also found recognition in leading specialist magazines. In 1914, Tafel went back to Lausitz, to Görlitz , and in 1918 was traceable in Lauchhammer . Most recently he worked in Munich between 1925 and 1950 .
