Disch-House
Disch-Haus is the name of an office and commercial building in the Cologne city center district, Brückenstraße 19/corner Herzogstraße 36. History of origins Disch-Haus takes its name from the "Hotel Disch", designed by Cologne architect Josef Felten and opened in October 1848 by Cologne art collector Franz Karl Damian Disch (born 1821; died 6 November 1880 in Cologne). The Cologne address book of 1846 listed Disch as an innkeeper. The magnificent building, with its rococo hall suitable for chamber music, was one of the most internationally renowned hotels in Cologne, as only the Dom-Hotel was in its category. After Disch's death, the restorer Joseph Christoph from Frankfurt/Main acquired it at auction in May 1881. On 8 February 1890 the latter founded the operating company "Disch Hotel- und Verkehrs-AG", of which Peter Werhahn was a member of the supervisory board. A first reconstruction was carried out in 1890 by the architect team Heinrich Joseph Kayser and Karl von Gro� ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bruno Paul
Bruno Paul (19 January 1874 – 17 August 1968) was a German architect, illustrator, interior designer, and furniture designer. Trained as a painter in the royal academy just as the Munich Secession developed against academic art, he first came to prominence as a cartoonist and illustrator in the German ''fin de siècle'' magazine ''Jugend'', and in the satirical ''Simplicissimus'' from 1897 through 1906, in the years where its criticism of Wilhelm II brought prosecutions from the government. By 1907 Paul became one of the founding members of the Deutscher Werkbund, and had launched multiple careers in industrial design, interior design (notably, for Norddeutscher Lloyd's ocean liners), furniture design, and architecture. His work of the time reflects a historic stylistic transition from the curved shapes and floral imagery of Jugendstil to simpler forms, straighter lines, and an adaptation to machine production methods. By 1907 Paul had also been appointed Director of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
