Julius Carl Raschdorff
Julius Carl Raschdorff (2 July 1823 – 13 August 1914) was a German architect and academic teacher. He is considered one of the notable architects of the second half of the 19th century in Germany and created his most important work with the Berlin Cathedral.
Born in Pleß, after his Abitur in 1842 in Gliwice, Raschdorff studied at the Berlin Bauakademie from 1845 to 1853. From his appointment as 2nd city architect on 1 November 1854, he worked in Cologne until 1878. There, he had a considerable influence on the Urban development in Cologne and renovated among others the Gürzenich (1854–1859) and the town hall. From 1864, he was 1st city architect, but left office in 1872 to settle as a private architect. In 1856, Raschdorff gave a lecture on new building techniques at the Paris World Exhibition. Between 1876 and 1880, the Ständehaus in Düsseldorf, which housed the Prussian Provinziallandtag and later the Landtag of North Rhine-Westphalia, was built according to his plans. Raschdorff became professor of architecture at Technische Hochschule Berlin in 1878. In 1914, he became emeritus. Raschdorff designed over 220 buildings in Germany and neighbouring countries, of which about 100 were executed in 40 different locations. A bronze portrait of Raschdorff was created by Adolf Brütt in 1895 for the Berlin Cathedral, in which Brütt was just as involved as in the Kaiser-Friedrich-Mausoleum (1888/1890) for Potsdam. In 1896, he received a large gold medal at the Große Berliner Kunstausstellung.
He was laid to rest at the Dorotheenstädtischer Friedhof II in an Ehrengrab of the city of Berlin.
His son Otto also became an architect and his closest collaborator.
In total, six churches, one synagogue, 17 school buildings, four university buildings, two museums, two libraries, four hospitals, one theatre, two town halls, seven railway stations, seven castles or palaces, 23 villas and ten residential and commercial buildings by Raschdorff are known to date.
In 1884, his competition design for the Museum Island development was awarded 4th prize alongside his son Otto Raschdorff (1854–1915).
