Paul Schultze-Naumburg is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Paul Schultze-Naumburg as German architect (1869-1949).
Paul Schultze-Naumburg was born at Almrich in 1869. His recorded nationality is Germany. He trained at Academy of Fine Arts, Karlsruhe.
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, politician and painter.
His work is associated with um 1800.
Among his best-known works are Schloss Bahrendorf, Cecilienhof and Schloss Freudenberg (Wiesbaden). Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.
Recognition followed: Golden Party Badge, honorary doctor of the University of Stuttgart, Adlerschild des Deutschen Reiches and Goethe Medal for Art and Science.
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.
Paul Schultze-Naumburg died in 1949, aged 80. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
