Johann Conrad Schlaun belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Johann Conrad Schlaun as German architect (1695–1773).
Johann Conrad Schlaun was born at Nörde in 1695. His recorded nationality is Germany. He trained at Gymnasium Theodorianum.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
He is recorded as architect, general contractor and military commander.
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.
Johann Conrad Schlaun died in 1773, aged 78. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
