Carl Haller von Hallerstein is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Carl Haller von Hallerstein as German architect.
Carl Haller von Hallerstein was born at Hiltpoltstein Castle in 1774. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Bavaria. He trained at Bauakademie.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
He is recorded as building researcher, architect and classical archaeologist.
Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.
That the work was built in Kingdom of Bavaria shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Carl Haller von Hallerstein died in 1817, aged 43. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
