Wilhelm Tiedje (born July 7, 1898 in Hanover ; † March 29, 1987 ) was a German architect and university professor .

Life

Tiedje first studied at the Technical University of Hanover and later with Paul Bonatz at the Technical University of Stuttgart , where he graduated with a diploma in 1922. Tiedje then stayed at the university for three years as Paul Schmitthenner's assistant . From 1925 to 1931 he worked under Adolf Abel in the building construction department in Cologne, where several graduates of the Stuttgart school worked with Hans Mehrtens , Theodor Teichen and Julius Schulte-Frohlinde through Paul Bonatz .

In 1931 Tiedje returned to Stuttgart and in 1934 received an extraordinary professorship for factory theory, technical drawing and design in the architecture department at the Technical University of Stuttgart . In 1936, the specialist in natural stone masonry was appointed by the General Inspector for German Roads, Fritz Todt , to be the architect of trust for the engineering projects of the Supreme Construction Management of the Reichsautobahn in Stuttgart. This was followed in 1938 as the responsible area architect for the southern district (sections from Stuttgart to Breslau) of the Reichsautobahn and in 1940 as the architect responsible for the entire water and energy supply for the western area (Rhine with tributaries). In 1940 Tiedje joined the NSDAP. From 1937 he worked on bridge building projects for the Reichsautobahn . Among other things, Tiedje was involved in the design work on the Albabstieg bridge on the Stuttgart-Ulm motorway.

In 1945 Tiedje was suspended from duty. After his return to the university he had a lot of hostility in the architecture faculty. In 1948, Tiedje therefore switched to the professorship for structural design and structural engineering in the civil engineering department of the Technical University of Stuttgart, which had been vacant since Rudolf Lempp left the company , where he taught until his retirement in 1965.

Among other things, Tiedje was involved as an architectural consultant in the reconstruction of the Lahntal Bridge in Limburg and in the new construction of the Rhine bridge Maximiliansau / Karlsruhe and the Glemstal bridge near Schwieberdingen .
