biography

Richard Jansen was born in Elsdorf as the son of the porter Stefan Jansen. He married Francis Marianne Helene Irma Meyer (1882–1932) in Bremen on May 5, 1906. With her he had two sons and a daughter. Jansen lived privately in Bremen - Horn-Lehe , Leher Heerstraße 4. After the death of his first wife, he married Margarethe Sonnemann for the second time in 1936.

Jansen learned the mason trade from his brother Joseph, who was an architect and building contractor in Cologne. 1895–1898 he attended the building trade school in Holzminden . After completing his military service as a one-year volunteer and doing practical work as a construction manager and draftsman in Dortmund and Mannheim, he joined the architectural office of Friedrich Wellermann and Paul Frölich in Bremen in 1901 . In 1905, Jansen joined forces with the architect Victor (Franzisco Gilbert) Meeussen to form a joint venture that lasted until July 1, 1919. Jansen & Meeussen's office was located in the Harms Am Wall 158/160 commercial building they designed until 1921 , and from 1922 to 1928 only under the name of Richard Jansen. Before the First World War, a number of striking commercial buildings were built based on a design by Jansen & Meeussen. After the professional separation, Jansen's greatest success was the 2nd prize and the execution of the Volkshaus on Nordstrasse (today Hans-Böckler-Strasse ) 1926–1928. In 1929 his office moved to the commercial building Wachtstrasse 27-28, for which he had just built an extension. On October 1, 1938, he gave up his job due to illness and moved to Quelkhorn.
