143 — Hans Poelzig 1 — Folk-Madness in Silesia

The first episode in our new series on the German Expressionist architect Hans Poelzig. In it we discussed the earliest phase of his career in Breslau (modern day Wrocław) where he designed a number of residential, civic and industrial buildings including the town hall of Löwenberg (modern day Lwówek Śląski) unbuilt Fabrikgebäude Werdermühle, a cosmic horror Sulphuric Acid Factory, as well as water towers, a dam and exposition architecture.
