Biography of Bruno Taut

Bruno Taut, a German architect and urban planner, was born on May 4, 1880, in Königsberg, into a merchant family. After completing his local gymnasium, Bruno continued his education at the Königsberg Construction School in 1897. Within three semesters, he successfully completed his studies.

From 1902, Taut worked in various architectural offices in Hamburg and Wiesbaden. Later, he had the opportunity to work in the architectural office of the renowned Berlin architect, Bruno Möhring. It was here that he first encountered the modern style and other new architectural trends.

From 1904 to 1908, Taut worked in Stuttgart under the guidance of Professor Theodore Fischer, where he gained experience in urban planning. In 1906, thanks to Fischer's recommendation, Taut received his first commission to restore a rural church in Unterrücksingen near Ludwigsburg.
