Wilhelm Frydag
Wilhelm J. Frydag (* around 1880 in Münster ; † around 1940 in Berlin ) was a German architect who specialized in church construction in Berlin. Three of the buildings have been preserved and are listed .
Life
After attending school and training, Wilhelm Frydag ran an architecture office at Hundekehlestrasse 29 in Dahlem near Berlin (since 1938 part of Berlin-Schmargendorf ), mostly without a partner . Apparently he lived in this apartment building all his life, together with six sculptors ( Bernhard Frydag , Alfred Raum , Hans Arnoldt , Carl Ebbinghaus , Hermann Hosaeus , Sigismund Wernelinck ) and painters.
Wilhelm Frydag's first more significant work as an architect was his participation in the design and construction of the St. Joseph Church in Müllerstrasse in what would later become the Berlin district of Wedding , together with his uncle Wilhelm Rincklake .
Between 1917 and 1918 Frydag had to do military service ("currently in the field", as it is called in an architecture publication).
