Erich Mendelsohn (Allenstein, 21. März 1887; † 15. September 1953) war ein deutscher Architekt, der für seine expressionistischen Gebäude, die ersten ihrer Art, ebenso bekannt war wie für die Entwicklung eines dynamischen Funktionalismus in seinen Laden- und Kinoprojekten.
At the end of 1918, when the war was over, he opened a prosperous architecture firm in Berlin. The Einstein Tower and the hat factory in Luckenwalde established its reputation. As early as 1924, Wasmuths Monatshefte für Baukunst, a German architecture monthly, published an edition of his work. The same year, he was, alongside Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius, one of the founding members of a modernist architectural movement called Der Ring. In Poland, or rather in Silesia, he built the Weichmann warehouses in Gleiwitz (Gliwice (1921-1922), the Petershof department store in Breslau (Wrocław (1927-1928) and a textile factory near Waldenburg (Wałbrzych, 1923). In 1924, it was with enthusiasm that he discovered America and its recent buildings, as he recorded in his correspondence; through this trip, he befriended Frank Lloyd Wright[3] as a host of the Taliesin community workshop, with whom he shared his interest in this organic American thought that echoed architectural expressionism. of which he is the spearhead in Germany: “He is twenty years older than me. But we became friends in that very moment, bewitched as we were by space, stretching out our hands in space towards each other: same path, same goal, same life, I believe. We immediately got along like brothers [...]. Wright says that the architecture of the future will be, for the first time in history, completely architecture, space in itself, without pre-established models, without embellishments — pure movement in three or four dimensions…[4]” His agency is progressing. During his best years, his agency employed about forty people, including Julius Posener, the future famous architectural historian who was an intern there. Mendelsohn's work sums up the consumerism of the Weimar Republic [style to be reviewed], more particularly of these stores, in particular the famous Schocken stores.
