Japanese: ペルツィヒ - ぺるつぃひ(英語表記)Hans Poelzig
Poelzig (English spelling) Hans Poelzig

German architect. Born and died in Berlin. Studied at the Technical University of Berlin. Taught at the architecture department of the Breslau School of Applied Arts from 1900 to 1916, later becoming its principal. He served as Dresden's civil engineering inspector from 1916 to 1920, chairman of the Deutsche Werkbund from 1919 to 1921, and professor at the Technical University of Berlin from 1924 to 1935. He brought a breath of fresh air to modern German urban architecture with simple, powerful mass structures such as the water tower in Posen (1911) and the trading house in Breslau (Wrocław) (1911-12), and later showed enthusiasm for expressionist styles. His industrial and theatrical architecture is particularly noteworthy. Other works include the Grosse Theater in Berlin (1918-19), the administration building of the IG dyeing company in Frankfurt (1928-30), and the Berlin Radio Station (1929-30).
