Werner Issel

Werner Issel (born June 11, 1884 in Buxtehude ; † November 16, 1974 in Bad Sachsa ; full name: Werner Ludwig Otto Issel ) was a German architect who primarily devoted himself to industrial and power plant construction.

family

Werner Issel was a son of the building trade school teacher and textbook author Hans Issel and his wife. Hans Issel taught at the Idstein building trade school from 1892 to 1898 . During this time his son went to school in Idstein . After the Second World War, Issel lived in Idstein again for some time. At times he toyed with the idea of ​​settling down permanently in this city, which he always considered his actual hometown.

job

Issel is counted among the most important architects of industrial construction in the 20th century. From 1906 to 1966 he designed industrial and power plant buildings for rapidly changing technical requirements. He began his professional career in 1906 at the AEG construction department in Berlin. From 1915 he ran a planning office in Berlin with Walter Klingenberg , the brother of the AEG power plant engineer Georg Klingenberg , which he later managed alone. In the 1920s and 1930s he built numerous power stations. After 1945 he moved his planning office first to Wiesbaden and later to Bad Sachsa . He planned more power plants and industrial plants, especially chemical plants.
