Walter Frese

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter Frese (* 1872 ; † January 14, 1949 ) was a German architect who emerged as a specialist in slaughterhouse facilities in the field of industrial architecture.

Frese had been employed in Düren as a “construction manager” since 1899 . After building his first slaughterhouse there with great success, he set up an architecture office in Düren. Further slaughterhouses were built in Eschweiler , Stolberg , Würselen and Erkelenz , as well as other industrial buildings.

Frese later ran a technical office for the planning and construction of slaughterhouses and cattle yards in Bonn and, after the First World War, in Berlin-Charlottenburg . In the 1930s, Frese was a member of a specialist committee that advised cities and municipalities in Germany and Austria on hygiene and safety in the construction and subsequent control of slaughterhouses and food factories. Most recently he became an expert of international standing for the integration of cooling technology in buildings, including for projects in Istanbul , Zagreb , Sofia and occupied Polandused. He was a member of the Association of German Architects (BDA) and the Berlin Academy of the Arts .

By the mid-1940s, over 70 high-quality building complexes had been built, ranging in style from Historicism to Art Nouveau and Brick Expressionism to New Building .
