Life
Robert Friedrich Rhien was born in Elbingerode during the so-called " French era " in 1811, possibly as the son of the mayor Friedrich Wilhelm Rhien, who was in office there from 1843 to 1847. Around this period Rhien was active as "Landbau-Conducteur extr." In the agricultural district of Hanover under the agricultural master Georg Ludwig Comperl from 1846 to 1847 . From the following year 1848 he served in the same position under the agricultural inspector Georg Wilhelm Mittelbach in the agricultural district of Hildesheim.
In 1854 Rhien moved to the Nienburg agricultural district, where he was first subordinate to the agricultural inspector Ludwig Eberhard Hesse , and then from 1857 to 1859 to the agricultural inspector "EW Hausmann". In 1860 Rhien was promoted to "Land-Bau-Inspector tit". In the same year the church of St. Martin in Breselenz , built according to his plans in the neo-Romanesque style, was inaugurated, where Rhien's brother-in-law, the pastor Chrysostomus Friedrich Gustav Dangers , was active at the time .
The court and state manual for the Kingdom of Hanover for the year 1863 lists " BCF Rhien , currently in Nienburg, director of the building trade school in Nienburg ". The - incorrect - abbreviations of the first names Rhiens were repeated in the Hanoverian state handbooks from 1855 to 1867; what was meant, however, was Robert Friedrich Rhien.
In 1865 Rhien was promoted to real agricultural inspector, around two years later, in 1867, appointed building officer for agricultural matters in the Nienburg building district, and in 1880 as district building inspector and building officer for agricultural matters for both the office and the city of Nienburg.
At the same time as the division of the Nienburg building district in 1884, Rhien took over the position of district building inspector in the building construction inspection Nienburg I and thus the areas of Nienburg, Hoya, Bruchhausen and the city of Nienburg.
Rhien retired on October 1, 1885; his successor as building inspector was "Mr. Tesmer" from Berent near Danzig.
Robert Friedrich Rhien was awarded the - Prussian - Order of the Red Eagle, fourth class . He died on January 25, 1891 in Hanover, where, according to the address book, city and business manual of the royal residence city of Hanover and the city of Linden , the building council was reported to be out of service for the year 1891 on the ground floor of Lutherstrasse 50 in the Hanover district of Südstadt .

bust
In front of the building of the former University of Applied Sciences in Nienburg - the plans submitted by the Lower Saxony Minister of Science Lutz Stratmann (CDU) after 2010 were closed - a bust of "Director Baurath Rhien" was erected at the Nienburg location of the University of Applied Sciences Hanover (FHH) after a fundraising campaign . The artist Erhard Joseph , who works in Wibbecke near Adelebsen in the Göttingen district , initially modulated the sculpture as plaster models based on photographic models of an older bust of Rhiens.
