Heinrich Tischler is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Heinrich Tischler as German architect and painter (1892-1938).
Heinrich Tischler was born at Koźle in 1892. His recorded nationality is German Reich.
Modernism rejected ornament and historical style, arguing that a building should express its structure and its function - a claim contested ever since.
He is recorded as architect, painter and graphic artist.
Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.
That the work was built in German Reich shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Heinrich Tischler died in 1938, aged 46. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
