Max Littmann
Max Littmann (3 January 1862 - 20 September 1931) was a German architect. Education Littmann was educated in the Chemnitz University of Technology and the Dresden University of Technology. In 1885, he moved to Munich where he met Friedrich Thiersch and Gabriel von Seidl and where - after two study trips to Italy and Paris - he established himself as a free architect. Career In 1891, he joined the contracting business of his father-in-law Jakob Heilmann, thus transforming it into the Heilmann & Littmann general partnership (later becoming a limited partnership), taking charge of the planning department. Littmann excelled in the erection of magnificent buildings, e.g. theaters, department stores and spas and was the perfect supplement to Heilmann, who had specialized in living house construction. In February 1905, two department stores opened their doors in Munich, both designed by Littmann, who at that time had already achieved the status of a prominent architect in the c ...

Reinforcing Steel
Rebar (short for reinforcement bar or reinforcing bar), known when massed as reinforcing steel or steel reinforcement, is a tension device added to concrete to form ''reinforced concrete'' and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and aid the concrete under tension. Concrete is strong under compression, but has low tensile strength. Rebar usually consists of steel bars which significantly increase the tensile strength of the structure. Rebar surfaces feature a continuous series of ribs, lugs or indentations to promote a better bond with the concrete and reduce the risk of slippage. The most common type of rebar is carbon steel, typically consisting of hot-rolled round bars with deformation patterns embossed into its surface. Steel and concrete have similar coefficients of thermal expansion, so a concrete structural member reinforced with steel will experience minimal differential stress as the temperature changes. Other readily available types of rebar are manufactured ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Munich Art Theatre
The Munich Art Theatre (''Münchner Künstlertheater'') was the first German theater constructed in the Art Nouveau style. It was designed by Max Littmann and opened in 1908. The main initiator was the journalist and dramatist Georg Fuchs, who in 1907 founded a society in Munich, the Verein Münchner Künstlertheater, with the expressed aim of building a theatre according to ‘artistic principles’. The theatre was built with a shallow stage, apron, and no orchestra pit. Seats were arranged in an amphitheatre form. The most innovative feature was the ‘relief stage’ where the performers acted before a stylized backdrop. Although the first productions coordinated by Fuchs were not particularly successful, the building and the relief stage attracted a good deal of attention. In 1909 it was leased to Max Reinhardt and finally closed in 1914. The building was destroyed during Second World War World War II or the Second World War (1 September 1939 – 2 Septem ...

Kurtheater Bad Kissingen
The Kurtheater Bad Kissingen is a theatre in the spa town Bad Kissingen in Bavaria, Germany. History The theatre was built in 1904 by the Munich architect Max Littmann in the neo baroque style and inaugurated on 25 June 1905 with a performance of the opera Pagliacci of Ruggero Leoncavallo. The theatre with its 538 seats replaced an older wooden theatre building in swiss style of 1856. The theatre was initially operated by the spa administration (Badkommissariat). The duty of the theatre was to entertain the visitors of the spa. The old theatre had no longer corresponded to the increased demands of the world bath.

Hofbräuhaus Am Platzl
The Hofbräuhaus am Platzl is a beer hall in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, originally built in 1589 by Bavarian Duke Maximilian I as an extension of the Staatliches Hofbräuhaus in München brewery.
