Architect Harry Rosenthal: Pioneering Residential Designs in Berlin
Architect Harry Rosenthal, known for his residential and summer homes, was born in Posen on May 3, 1892. He primarily worked in Berlin and surrounding areas, with notable projects including a listed summer home in Bad Saarow.
Rosenthal's career began with studies at the Technical Universities of Munich and Berlin. After graduation, he worked under Hans Poelzig and Bruno Taut before establishing his own office in 1922. His versatile style incorporated expressionism and the principles of the New Building.
One of his earliest works was the Dr. Rosenthal Home in Berlin, completed in 1923. However, no other specific homes by him in Berlin were listed in available sources. Rosenthal's most famous work, a summer home for Josef Thorak in Bad Saarow, is now a listed building.
Following the rise of the national socialists, Rosenthal fled to Palestine and later to London. Unable to resume independent work, he took on various design jobs in London until his death on April 23, 1966.
Harry Rosenthal's architectural legacy, despite the challenges he faced, includes notable residential and summer homes. His work, influenced by expressionism and the New Building principles, continues to be appreciated, particularly in Berlin and surrounding areas.
