Friedrich Joachim Stengel

German architect

Friedrich Joachim Stengel belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.

The record lists Friedrich Joachim Stengel as German architect.

Friedrich Joachim Stengel was born at Zerbst in 1694. His recorded nationality is Germany.

Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.

He is recorded as architect.

His best-known building is église protestante de Berg. 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 Joachim Stengel died in 1787, aged 93. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
