from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Jänecke (born August 22, 1872 in Altwarmbüchen near Hanover , † May 3, 1928 in Schleswig ) was a German architect , art historian , Prussian construction clerk and university professor .

Life

After training at the Arts and Crafts School Hannover studied Jänecke at the Technical University of Hanover , the Technical University of Munich and the Technical University of Charlottenburg architecture and the universities of Munich, Berlin and Münster art history . In 1903 he became a Dr.-Ing. ( Doctor -Ingenieur) doctorate and in 1909 in Münster Dr. phil.

Jänecke worked for several years at the Hanover City Building Department and then worked from 1900 to 1902 as a government master builder ( Assessor ) in the Prussian Ministry of Public Works in Berlin. He influenced and accompanied building projects in Stade and Pankow near Berlin ( new court buildings), Marienwerder (higher girls’s school), Wongrowitz (teacher’s seminar, magistrate’s and building authorities), Osnabrück (high school, churches and elementary schools) and in Prussian Stargard (Skurz school). He later worked as a government and building officer in Schleswig and was a private lecturer at the University of Kiel .

Jänecke also worked as an architect outside of his official duties, mainly in the Osnabrück area. He was involved in the design of the Schöninghsdorf settlement (1907) and designed the rectory in Schledehausen, in Osnabrück's Klöntrupstraße, in Rabber as well as the district building in Bersenbrück (1912), the Achelriede hospital and private houses (Haus Kaemmerer, Osnabrück). He also participated in renovations, for example in Burg Castle , Bentheim Castle and in the Protestant Castle Church of Iburg (1913).

After the First World War , Jänecke designed some atmospheric grave and war memorials, for example in Schleswig (1920), Iburg (1921) and at the Idstedt Memorial Church (1923).

Jänecke designed his buildings in a modern way, but often leaned freely on medieval models in the details. He also dealt with monument preservation and worked as an art writer. He worked for various specialist magazines.

Because of an official misconduct, Jänecke had to endure disciplinary proceedings in 1927, which among other things led to his transfer to the government in Stade with effect from April 1, 1928 .

Jänecke was married and had four children. He died unexpectedly at the beginning of May 1928 under circumstances that were not fully explained: while on vacation with his family in Schleswig shortly after his transfer, he was missing on May 3rd. After a two-day search, his body was found in the Schlei on May 5, 1928 . Jänecke was buried in Osnabrück.
