Max Littmann

Max Littmann ( born January 3, 1862 in Chemnitz Castle, † September 20, 1931 in Munich; Complete name: Bernhard Max Littmann ) was a German architect. Best known is his Munich Hofbräuhaus, but his most important achievement was the reform of the stage building.

Life

Littmann was the son of the merchant Johann Bernhard Littmann and his wife Hulda Emilie born Heurig to the world.

In Chemnitz, where his father had opened a hardware store, Littmann made ​​a bricklayer and was a student at the Commercial Academy Chemnitz ( 1878-1882 ). From 1883 to 1885 he studied at the Technical University of Dresden architecture. He moved in 1885 to Munich, where he met Friedrich Thiersch and Gabriel von Seidl and in 1888 settled on the study trips to Italy and Paris as a freelance architect.

In 1891 he married Ida Heilmann, the daughter of the contractor, Jakob Heilmann. The two sons of the couple as well as the three children of Littmann's only daughter Gertrude died in childhood. From 1891 to 1908, Littmann partners in the construction of his father Jacob Heilmann of Heilmann & Littmann oHG (later GmbH ) with the main focus of the design. He stepped forth mainly by the creation of representative buildings such as theaters, department stores and spas and supplemented by himself with his specialized in housing and construction father well.

Rather, he was born into a Protestant family in Oschatz (Saxony), who had been consulted before 1750 in the city Bojanowo the Protestant minority in Poland.
