Rundbogenstil

The round arch style is a style of historicism that dominated the style of discussion in Germany in the mid -19th century. He took on elements of Byzantine, Romanesque and Renaissance architecture and combined them with stylish neutral designs. The delineation of romanesque and neo is not clearly possible.

Description

With reference to early Christian role models, the round arch style from classicism demarcates who had dominated with his recourse to the formal language of antiquity, the early 19th century. The Rundbogenstil managed with its simple and strictly ordered facade architecture, the first contemporary answer to the question of an appropriate architectural style of his time, which was placed in the mid 19th century of political and social upheaval in the context of the burgeoning German national movement and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Compared to the orders of columns of classicism enabled the vaulting flexible and rational constructions. Thus, the round arch style is an early example of historicism that defined style forms as the expression of a particular building project.
