Life

Paul Ziegler was born in 1874 as the son of the chief architect Jacob Christian Ziegler (1840–1902) and his wife Wilhelmine Ziegler, b. Heller (1844–1920), born in Heidenheim an der Brenz. Due to his father's construction activities, who often took him to construction sites, he dedicated himself to construction at an early age. After completing secondary school in Heidenheim (1889) and high school diploma in Stuttgart (1891), he did his military service as a one-year volunteer in the foot artillery in the imperial fortress of Ulm . From 1892 to 1898 he studied architecture at the Technical University of Stuttgart . From 1899 he worked in the renowned architectural office of Ludwig Eisenlohr and Carl Weigle in Stuttgart. In 1902 he carried out his first private planning for the Bühler Villa in Heidenheim. In the years 1902 to 1904 he gained experience in other architectural offices in Düsseldorf and Berlin . As an employee of the marine construction authority in Kiel under the direction of garrison building inspector Adalbert Kelm, he participated in the design planning of the Mürwik naval school (1904/1905).

On November 6, 1905, he was employed as a town planning inspector by the city of Flensburg and in 1908 married Gertrud Bauer, the daughter of the shipyard director Jacob Bauer. With the retirement of the town planning officer Otto Fielitz , he took over the management of the building police department and the building construction department. In 1912 he played a key role in organizing the Flensburg building exhibition.

After the seizure of power of Adolf Hitler in 1933 tried Nazi Flensburg Mayor William Sievers , Paul Ziegler due to an alleged inconsistency between the north German building culture and its Swabian urge origin from office. However, the local artisans saved him and stood behind him. In fact, Sievers and others believed that Ziegler would not stand for the National Socialist direction of his work because of his attitude. Nevertheless, his offices were reduced enormously from 1934 until his retirement in 1939, so that at the end of his career he was only responsible for the building police, settlement and building maintenance. In 1956 Paul Ziegler died in Flensburg at the age of 81. The Paul-Ziegler-Straße in Flensburg was named after him.

From 1920 it was influenced by the New Objectivity architectural style , as can be seen in many important buildings. The German House is one of his most famous buildings . In many of his projects he worked with the city architect Theodor Rieve.
