Birth Date 1875-09-05 Birthplace Weinsberg Death Date 1945-08-15 Training Institution Wrocławska Akademia Sztuk Pięknych (Fine Arts School of Breslau) Occupation Architect Biographical Text Hermann Distel was born on September 15, 1875, in Weinsberg, Germany. Coming from a conservative family, during his youth and adolescence he developed a taste for arts and carpentry, having worked at the Weinsberg Municipal Building Office and at a studio in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe. During his activity in these workshops he contacted with names such as Carl Schäfer, Josef Durm and Friedrich Ratzel. He then entered the Breslau Academy of Fine Arts, where he attended and graduated architecture. Back in Karlsruhe, he did an internship with Professor Karl Moser. At the same time, he started working at the Freiburg District Building Inspection. His professional activity is quite wide, having worked in several cities, namely Zurich, Rheinfelden, Colmar and Berlin. In 1905, he opened a studio in Hamburg, together with August Grubitz. In the 1920s and 1930s their studio was already specialized in hospital unit designs. However, he is the author of numerous other works. From the beginning, its activity was intense, doing also housing, industrial and religious constructions, as well as urban plans. His projects developed a language that gradually and moderately valued functional interiors and adopted a rectilinear slant, experimenting with terraced roofing while employing local materials such as brick. With August Grubitz he designed the Montanhof building between 1924 and 1926. In Germany he designed the University of Hamburg, the Maria-Hilf Hospital, the expansion of the Diakonissenkrankenhauses Bethanien in Hamburg, the Bethesda café in Berlin, the Free Mason’s Hospital in Hamburg, the Israeli Hospital in also in Hamburg and, in 1940, the Frauenklinik Hospital, together with the Universitätsklinikum und Medizinische Institute in Berlin. He also designed his residence in Hamburger Stadtteil Bergedorf, now a classified heritage. In 1931, he was president of the Construction Section of the International Hospitals Association. With an established career in the III Reich, he gained recognition as an international hospital architect, publishing theoretical writings and receiving several orders in parallel not only in Germany but also in other countries. In this regard, in 1935, at the Congress of the International Association of Hospitals, he was appointed honorary member of the American Association of Architects, which gave him the visibility that would allow him to design the Hospital Escolar de Lisboa, the Hospital Escolar do Porto and a project for a Large Hospital to be built in Lisbon, in collaboration with his son, Walter Distel. In line with the Estado Novo, the German architect designed two of the works that would represent the most the architecture of this period. He wrote several studies, including Rationeller Krankenhaus-Bau, Ausstellungs-und Kongresshallen in Deutschland, Rationaller Krankenhaus Bau and Architekt Hermann Distel in Arbeitsgemeinschaft mit Architekt A. grubitz einer Einleitung von Carl Anton Piper.
