Rudolf Lempp (born November 26, 1887 in Oberiflingen , † January 7, 1981 in Stuttgart ) was a German architect and construction clerk .

Life

Rudolf Lempp studied architecture in Stuttgart as a pupil and assistant to Paul Bonatz and developed into a representative of the conservative Stuttgart School , which built on regional building traditions, insisted on solid craftsmanship and refused to build with industrially prefabricated components. In Stuttgart he was also involved in the youth movement-reformed association Widar . From 1922 to 1929 he was the head of the structural engineering department and town planning officer in Esslingen am Neckar . During this time, the spire of the Frauenkirche, which was in danger of collapsing, was renovated, the old town hall renewed and the castle redesigned.

From 1927 to 1947 Rudolf Lempp was professor of structural engineering for civil engineers at the Technical University of Stuttgart . As a representative of the so-called Heimatschutz style , like the Stuttgart School of Architects, he was able to continue working during the time of the National Socialist dictatorship . In 1930 the city hospital built according to his plans was inaugurated in Esslingen. From 1947 to 1953 Rudolf Lempp was director of the Stuttgart State Building School.

During the 1950s, the Evangelical Hohenkreuz Church was built in Esslingen according to his plans . In 1954, the Stuttgart Church of the Redeemer, which had been destroyed by fire bombs in 1944, was rebuilt under Lempp's direction. While he redesigned the interior of the church in the style of the 1950s, the exterior of the church remained unchanged. Other important buildings by Lempp are the new town hall in Worms and the reconstruction of the new palace in Stuttgart .
