Rudolf Schroeder (born May 19, 1897 in Wilhelmshaven ; † December 27, 1965 in Kiel ) was a German architect .

Life

Rudolf Schroeder studied architecture at the technical universities of Hanover and Stuttgart , among others with Paul Bonatz and Paul Schmitthenner . In the 1920s, parallel to his studies, he was involved in the planning of miners' settlements in the Ruhr area, before taking his diploma examination in 1925 and the state examination for government builder in Württemberg in 1927 . Schroeder then became head of department in the building construction and settlement office in Kiel , in 1936 senior municipal building officer, four years later municipal senior building officer and building director, and finally in 1951 municipal building director. In 1962 he retired. He died in Kiel in 1965.

His numerous school buildings in Kiel from the 1950s are of outstanding importance in Schroeder's architectural oeuvre . He was "one of the first, if not the first, to resume the principle of the pavilion school as a responsible architect after the Second World War ." Schroeder is also considered to be "the outstanding Kiel" city architect "" of the 20th century, the founder of a modern building tradition for Kiel, whose urban growth was previously "not accompanied by any notable contributions to its own building culture."
