Hans Poelzig
German architect (Berlin, 30 April 1869 – Berlin, 14 June 1936)
Hans Poelzig (Berlin, 30 April 1869 – Berlin, 14 June 1936) was a German architect, designer and stage designer.
Poelzig had been a member of the Deutscher Werkbund. Towards the mid-20s, with the Weimar architects including Bruno Taut and Ernst May, Poelzig had followed the developments of expressionist architecture and the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). In 1927 he had participated with his own project in the first important realization of rationalist architecture promoted by the Werkbund, the Weissenhof district in Stuttgart.
Hans Poelzig was born to Countess Clara Henrietta Maria Poelzig (daughter of Alexander von Hanstein, Count of Pölzig and Beiersdorf) while she was married to the Englishman George Acland Ames. After completing his studies in architecture, Poelzig designed several industrial buildings. In 1911, he built a 51.2 m high water tower for an industrial exhibition in Poznań. In 1916, he was appointed city architect of Dresden. In 1919, he designed the Großes Schauspielhaus theatre in Berlin for the impresario Max Reinhardt. From 1920 to 1935, he taught at the Technical University of Berlin and was director of the Prussian Academy of Arts (Preußische Akademie der Künste).
