Georg von Dollmann is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Georg von Dollmann as German architect (1830-1895).
Georg von Dollmann was born at Ansbach in 1830. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Bavaria. He trained at Academy of Fine Arts, Munich and Technical University of Munich.
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.
His best-known building is Linderhof Palace. 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.
Georg von Dollmann died in 1895, aged 65. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
