Rudolf Linnemann

Rudolf Linnemann (born April 27, 1874 in Frankfurt am Main , † March 19, 1916 in northern France) was a German architect , interior designer and glass painter .

Life

Linnemann was the son of Alexander Linnemann , who was responsible for numerous paintings and stained glass in important churches such as the Frankfurt Cathedral and the Mainz Cathedral as well as in important secular buildings. He received his first training from Karl Schäfer , a friend of his father's, and studied with him from 1891 to 1894 at the Technical University of Berlin-Charlottenburg . Then learned in his father's studio, where he was also influenced by the style of the Nazarene Eduard von Steinle , who had worked closely with his father. At the beginning of the 1890s, elements of the English movement came into the German art field, so that Linnemann went to London from 1900 to 1902 to gain new impressions. After his father's death, he continued his work with his brother Otto Linnemann .

Rudolf Linnemann, as captain of the Landwehr and commander of a munitions column , had a fatal accident in the First World War while working on the western front.

Works

Among other things, he worked at the cathedral in Meißen , the Königsberg cathedral , the Weißfrauenkirche in Frankfurt am Main, the village church in Hohen Neuendorf and the Erlöserkirche in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe .

Before the First World War, the Linnemann brothers worked very successfully with the Darmstadt-based architects Friedrich Pützer on various construction projects. For example at the Johanniskirche in Mainz or at the Lutherkirche in Wiesbaden. Her work included both stained glass and decorations on the interiors of churches. Traces of Linnemann's activity can be found on the stone house , the town hall and several churches or on the Römerberg house No. 38 in Frankfurt am Main.
