- Paul
Schmitthenner - (15 December 1884 - 11 November 1972) was a German
architect and city planner from Lauterbourg, Alsace-Lorraine, one of
Adolf Hitler's architects. He graduated from the University of Stuttgart
and later became a Professor there, where he formed together with Paul
Bonatz the architectural style of the Stuttgart School. His belief that
the traditional methods and styles in architecture revealed best the
German character led to his appointment as expert group leader for fine
arts in the Kampfbund. He believed that Schönheit ruht in Ordnung ("beauty
lies in (geometric) order"). Schmitthenner was in open opposition
to modern architects like Walter Gropius. For him, Goethe's cottage
at Weimar was still the ideal type of the German residential building.
However, despite official approval, his enthusiasm did not bring many
large commissions. He was author of the book "Baugestaltung. Das
Deutsche Wohnhaus", 1932. He had to leave his chair at the University
after war without a pension and worked as an architect till the end
of his life. In Stuttgart he built the "Königin-Olga-Bau"
