Peter Juergensen

Peter Jürgensen (born December 16, 1873 in Dellstedt , Dithmarschen , † February 5, 1954 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a German architect who realized numerous church and secular buildings in Berlin and other cities in Germany.

Life

Jürgensen studied architecture at the building trade school in Eckernförde , and from 1893 to around 1900 at the Technical University (Berlin-) Charlottenburg , there with Johannes Vollmer , among others .

After initial experience in the office of the architect Jürgen Kröger , Jürgensen and Jürgen Bachmann founded the law firm Jürgensen und Bachmann in Berlin-Charlottenburg in 1903 . The architects successfully participated in competitions and mostly took top places; they could then also implement their designs themselves. During the time of large commissions, other architects, who later became known for their own buildings, such as Gustav Wilhelm Berringer, also worked in her office .

Jürgensen built his own five-storey residential and commercial building in Berlin-Charlottenburg, Kastanienallee 22, as a residence for his family and as a business building for his architectural office from 1911 to 1914. Art Nouveau elements and influences from early modernism determine the house with box double windows, balconies with balustrades and a porch made of sandstone as well as a sandstone relief mother and child . A small gable relief with the Schleswig-Holstein coat of arms served as a reference to the architect's birthplace. Inside there were apartments in the spirit of the imperial era with relatively spacious rooms, an elevator and even a wine cellar, terraces were built on the courtyard side.

The collaboration with Bachmann ended in 1918, after which Jürgensen continued to work with his own office in Berlin, and occasionally with other architects for larger contracts.
