28 Bard Boulevard reminds me of economical half-timbered houses from Siegerland

Translation: there was a law in 1790 regarding wood savings due to shortage of wood. Therefore from 1870 - 1920, cheaphalf-timbered residential houses were built in Siegerland and surroundings, characterized by omitted intermediate horizontal beams (so | | instead of H beams)

The biography of German architect Wilhelm Wichtendahl (1902-92) reads like many of his contemporaries’: Wichtendahl studied at TH München, after graduating worked in Robert Vorhoelzer’s progressive Postbauschule and during the Nazi era served as company architect for M.A.N. and Messerschmitt. His career is paradigmatic insofar as he spent the Nazi years in the alleged refuge of industrial architecture, a niche in which the authorities accepted modern architecture. After the war and with the excuse of having built for corporations rather than Nazi institutions Wichtendahl was seamlessly able to continue his career and significantly contributed to the reconstruction of the city of Augsburg. From 1952 onwards he also rose in the ranks of the Bund Deutscher Architekten (BDA), the leading association of German architects, and between 1959 and 1965 served as its president. In these capacities Wichtendahl also played a part in spreading the myth of industrial architecture as a refuge where progressive architects met and I deology played a minor role. Of course this was merely a maneuver to exculpate himself and his colleagues.

As keeper of the architect’s archive the now closed Architekturmuseum Schwaben in 2011 dedicated an exhibition and a catalogue to Wichtendahl’s conflicting work and biography: „Wilhelm Wichtendahl 1902–1992. Architekt der Post, der Rüstung und des Wiederaufbaus“, edited by Winfried Nerdinger and published by Reimer Verlag, critically evaluates and contextualizes the architect and his architecture, also beyond his role within the Third Reich and his association’s activities. Wichtendahl undoubtedely was a successful architect, especially in the fields of hospital and school architecture, whose plannings grew in size alongside the postwar economy. From the work catalogue nonetheless emerges the picture of an architect who, as Winfried Nerdinger notes in his foreword, never quite developed an individual handwriting.

The present volume is an important contribution to the exploration of German postwar architecture, the continuities between the latter and the Third Reich as well as their manifestation in individual biographies. Highly recommended!

Munich Residenz, Antiquarium Room, Germany.

This hall is the oldest room in the residence. Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria had it built from 1568 to 1571 for his collection of antique sculptures, hence the name "Antiquarium".
