The first-time installation of a chronologically-structured catalogue of planned and realized buildings by Alfred Fischer will also include an first analysis of the architectural design of various projects in broad therms. At the same time this classification of the architectural design and the further exploration of Alfred Fischer as a person affords a comparison with the published reports, biographies and works of his Contemporaries. With the exemplary design of new industrial buildings and impressive office buildings in the Ruhrgebiet area Alfred Fischer has created a starting point for a modern architectural development, especially in its principal place of activity – in Essen – which will work until today.
