Robert Poseck
Robert Louis Poseck (born January 21, 1858 in Arnstadt ; † March 3, 1939 in Berlin ) was a German architect and builder of the late Wilhelminian style in Berlin. He was the father of the writer Ernst Poseck . He initially worked as a carpenter and later became self-employed as an architect and building contractor.
Robert Poseck planned and financed a number of representative historicist and eclecticist villas and country houses around 1900 , mainly in the Berlin villa colony of Lichterfelde-West (at the time part of the independent community of Groß-Lichterfelde ) and in Steglitz . Some of his buildings have been preserved and are under monument protection . The preserved buildings are characterized by an elegant facade design.
His buildings in Lichterfelde-West follow the two-storey villa construction that was prescribed for the villa colony at the time . The two main floors were supplemented by kitchens and utility rooms in a lower ground floor and staff rooms and further utility rooms in a converted attic. These villas, built for “bourgeois living”, are mostly medium-sized houses with usable areas of 500 to 1000 m², often supplemented by a coach house on the same property. Inspired by the success of his first villas, Poseck saw himself in a position to finance the houses in advance for later buildings and to expand them according to his own ideas in order to then sell them.
