Robert Friedrich Goetze

Robert Friedrich Goetze (* 1881 in Köthen (Anhalt) ; missing after 1940) was a German architect and construction clerk .

Life

After an apprenticeship as a bricklayer in Köthen, which he completed with a journeyman's examination, Goetze attended the building trade school in Magdeburg , which he left with a certificate as a construction technician. As a one-year volunteer he served in a Anhalt regiment, followed by six semesters of architecture studies at the Technical University of Karlsruhe and the Technical University of Munich . During his studies in Munich, he worked as an assistant to city planning officer Hans Grässel . Then the young architect moved to the prosperous capital of Berlin , where he briefly joined Alfred Messel's architectural office .

When the position of assistant to the artistic director of the design department in the municipal building department of Rixdorf (since 1910: Neukölln ) was advertised, Goetze applied and took up this position in 1906/1907. The talented Goetze was entrusted with a variety of design tasks and the town planning officer Reinhold Kiehl arranged for him to be accepted into the Berlin Architects' Association . In 1910 Robert Goetze received the Schinkel Prize for Architecture. Goetze worked in the design department until 1924, when the Neukölln Building Department was considerably reduced in size. He switched to the Prussian building and finance department in Berlin. His last building contract, the police sports school in Spandau , which was designed entirely in the style of National Socialist architecture , he was able to carry out as senior building officer with his colleague senior building officer Friedrich Schirmer in 1939/1940.

Robert Goetze's further fate after 1940 is unknown.
