Goethestraße Housing (1927-29) in Zwenkau, Germany, by Thilo Schoder
Exploring architecture remote from the urban centers often leads to unexpected discoveries and the realization that also in the hinterland exceptional architecture was able to flourish. Not in Berlin or Frankfurt/Main but in Gera (Thuringia) the architect Thilo Schoder (1888-1979) established himself as an exceptional architect of modernist industrial buildings, housing estates and villas. Looking at Schoder’s CV this comes as no surprise: after graduating from Kunstgewerbeschule Weimar, the Bauhaus predecessor, in 1911 the young architect worked in Josef Hoffmann’s office, the Wiener Werkstätte and for a couple of years in Henry van de Velde’s studio. What eventually brought him to Gera was the assignment as artistic advisor of the Golde company in 1916, a position that obviously left Schoder sufficient time to also work on other assignments all over Thuringia: after being released from military service in WWI in 1918 Schoder up until 1932 realized an impressive number of buildings. His flourishing career eventually came to a halt with the Great Depression whose effects by the early 1930s brought construction to a standstill. Together with his Norwegian wife Bergljot Schoder in late 1932 emigrated to Norway and consecutively started his second career.
That his teachers and employers, all exponents of the Art Nouveau, had a lasting influence on Schoder demonstrate his built works: far from a dogmatic rectangular „Zweckform“ Schoder employed a more organic, sometimes expressive and monumental language that is close to Erich Mendelsohn. The entirety of his oeuvre until 1932 is collected in the present meritorious monograph by Ulrike Lorenz, published by Glaux Verlag in 2001: "Thilo Schoder. Ein Architekt im Spannungsfeld der Moderne“: it contains a comprehensive work catalogue, an edition of Schoder’s texts and correspondences as well as a thorough account of his development. Along key milestones the author connects biography and architectural development in a compelling narrative that shows Schoder as a quintessential exponent of his time: his creativity wasn’t limited to architecture but equally concerned jewelry, furniture or book wrappers. A reference work!
