FRANZ EHRLICH
1907 - 1984
German architect and artist
Franz Ehrlich was one of the versatile architects and designers of the German post-war period. From 1927 to 1930 he studied under Walter Gropius at the Bauhaus in Dessau.
Typical of Ehrlich’s architectural outlook is the monumental building-complex of the »Franz Ehrlich« House in Berlin-Aldershof (the foundation stone for which was laid in 1950).
The complex consists of three cubiform functional zones: the conversion of a factory site which had been destroyed in the Second World War, a nine-storey tower block which adjoins it, forming a dominant feature, and the production wing with studios and transmission rooms.
