Der Baumeister – “Architecture, Housing and Timber-Saving Construction Methods” – XXXX. Jahrgang, Heft 1 – January 1942 – German Edition
Description:
Der Baumeister was one of Germany's established architectural and construction journals of the twentieth century. First published in Munich in 1902, the monthly magazine became an important professional publication documenting architectural movements, urban planning, building design and developments in construction technology. Its issues presented residential buildings, public structures and urban projects through architectural drawings, technical plans and high-quality photographic reproductions.
The January 1942 issue (XXXX. Jahrgang, Heft 1) presents a selection of architectural projects and technical studies from different parts of Europe. Among the featured subjects is the redesign of a restaurant in Memel, documented under the title “Neugestaltung einer Gaststätte in Memel”. Another article examines enclosure and fencing works on the North Frisian island of Sylt, under the heading “Die Einfriedigung auf der nordfriesischen Insel Sylt”.
The issue also explores a new type of small residential settlement in Vienna and its specific requirements. In the “Rundschau” section, particular attention is given to innovations in timber-saving construction, including a building method using a profile-rafter truss system. These articles provide an insight into architectural design, residential planning and construction techniques discussed in the German professional press in early 1942.
