Friedrich Eisenlohr belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Friedrich Eisenlohr as German architect (1805–1855).
Friedrich Eisenlohr was born at Lörrach in 1805. His recorded nationality is Germany.
Industrialisation gave architecture iron, glass and the lift, and with them the problems of the railway station, the factory and the tall city block.
He is recorded as architect and university teacher.
Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
That the work was built in Germany shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Friedrich Eisenlohr died in 1855, aged 50. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
