Wilhelm Fränkel (architect)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Willy (Wilhelm) Fränkel (born February 12, 1874 in Mutzschen ; † unknown) was a German architect .

Life

Fränkel studied from 1896 to 1900 at the Dresden Art Academy with Paul Wallot . He then worked as an architect in Düsseldorf and Hamburg . Leipzig is also mentioned as a place of activity .

Nothing is known about his life and professional work after 1914. Vollmer's General Lexicon of Fine Artists of the XX. Century mentions in Volume 2, published in 1955, that Fränkel “worked for some time in Düsseldorf, then in Hamburg”, but locates him as “resident there”, which means the place of birth Mutzschen. The catalog of the German National Library shows a book written by Paul Willy Fränkel under the pseudonym W. Vor-Fränki and self-published in Mutzschen in 1928.

Biographical research is made more difficult by the risk of confusion with the Dresden bridge-building engineer Wilhelm Fränkel and the Viennese architect Wilhelm Fraenkel , who is also referred to in the literature as Wilhelm Fränkel .
