building control office

The Building Control office will probably ask to see the calculations.

In 1910, Fritz Beblo was named head of the building department and building control office (Baurat, building officer).

Fred Otto (1883-1944), head of the municipal planning and building control office between 1925 and 1944, purposely abandoned decorative elements and used bright, beige-coloured travertine for the facades.

In between, he became Baurat (building control office surveyor) in 1921, Oberbaurat in 1929, later Magistratsbaurat and finally Stadtbaudirektor, head of the Berlin municipal building office.

On recommendation of Ludwig II of Bavaria the head of the municipal planning and building control office of Munich, Knight August von Voith, became the task to plan the building.
