The architect attended the Kunstakademie in Kassel and the Bauakademie in Berlin where his teachers included Richard Lucae and Johann Heinrich Strack. After becoming a licensed government architect in 1884 he won a competition for the revised design of the Reichsgerichtgebäude in Leipzig. Hoffmann and Peter Dybwad worked on the monumental neo-classicist building from 1887-1895. A year later Hoffmann was elected city architect of Berlin being responsible for all types of public buildings in the city. Notable examples include the Märkisches Museum various public baths such as the Volksbadeanstalt Baerwaldstraße Berlin-Kreuzberg Volksbadeanstalt Dennewitsstraße Schöneberg Volksbadeanstalt Oderberger Straße Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg several bridges & fountains the Altes Stadthaus the Rudolf-Virchow-Krankenhaus and many others. On the initiative of Rudolf Virchow the fourth major city hospital was built between 1898 and 1906. Virchow was a German doctor anthropologist pathologist and politician known for his advancement of public health. He is considered as one of the founders of social medicine. The Virchow Krankenhaus was the last hospital that was built in the so-called "Pavillonstil." At the time the construction of the building cost 19 million Reichsmark. 57 separate buildings with 2000 beds were built on an area of 2906255 square feet. The staff buildings housed approx. 1000 employees doctors nurses and other personnel. Impeccable landscaping trees large green patches flower beds and benches gave the hospital grounds a park-like feel.

1993réf. 37680Berlin: Aufbau-Verlag 1993. First edition. Paperback. g to vg. Quarto. 214pp. Original photo-illustrated wrappers. Striking study on the 1936 "Nazi Olympics" as deciphered through the images of Leni Riefenstahl's "Olympia." For two weeks in August 1936 Adolf Hitler's Nazi dictatorship camouflaged its racist militaristic character while hosting the Summer Olympics. Softpedaling its antisemitic agenda and plans for territorial expansion the regime exploited the Games to bedazzle many foreign spectators and journalists with an image of a peaceful tolerant Germany. Having rejected a proposed boycott of the 1936 Olympics the United States and other western democracies missed the opportunity to take a stand that - some observers at the time claimed - might have given Hitler pause and bolstered international resistance to Nazi tyranny. With the conclusion of the Games Germany's expansionist policies and the persecution of Jews and other "enemies of the state" accelerated culminating in World War II and the Holocaust. Leni Riefenstahl's "Olympia" was divided into two parts: Olympia Part I: Festival of the Nations and Part II: Festival of Beauty both released in 1938. The movies represent a tremendous aesthetic and technical cinematic achievement. Through a compilation of sporting images "Olympia" subtly underlined a tenet of all authoritarian regimes: that individuals must be turned into machines that act as required but do not think. At no point do the sportsmen and women in Olympia speak. After the war Riefenstahl - who hoped her films would continue to be shown - claimed that the Nazi government had no influence on "Olympia." This was untrue. The Nazi government commissioned and financed the films. Propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels' diaries indicate that he was in contact with Riefenstahl about their progress though not always positively. "It is impossible to work with this wild woman" he wrote on one occasion. Wild though she may have been the films are utterly compliant. The fact that "Olympia" depicts such moments as the field hockey final in which India defeated Germany is sometimes mistaken by Riefenstahl's defenders as evidence of her editorial independence. It is the opposite. Riefenstahl's inclusion of the occasional German defeat fits squarely with Goebbels' instructions to the German press during the Games which were to create an impression of Nazi fairmindedness by reporting foreign as well as German victories. The Nazi obsession with race is constantly restated. "Two black runners against the strongest of the white race" muses "Olympia"'s commentator as he surveys the field for the men's 800m. On that occasion the black runners the US's John Woodruff and Canada's Phil Edwards took gold and bronze respectively. The most exhilarating section of the first "Olympia" film is the long-jump final in which black American athlete Jesse Owens faces the white German champion Luz Long. In the last of three jumps Long hits 7.87m: a new European record. The crowd is ecstatic as is Hitler himself who is shown applauding his champion. Then it is Owens's last jump. He composes himself. Sprints. Flies. Lands lightly in the sand. It's 8.06m a new Olympic record Owens already held the world record having jumped 8.13m in 1935. Tactfully Riefenstahl does not show Hitler's reaction to Owens's spectacular achievement. According to Albert Speer the Führer was "highly annoyed" but rationalised Owens's success within the terms of his pseudoscientific race theories. "People whose antecedents came from the jungle were primitive Hitler said with a shrug; their physiques were stronger than civilized whites." Moderate shelf wear along edges of wrappers.

There in 1907 he became first professor in ordinary for internal medicine when the Academy for Practical Medicine was founded. Up to 1927 he was head of the medical clinic. On 17 February 1929 he died in DUsseldorf. At first Hoffmann used the X-rays which were discovered in 1895 for the heart diagnostics above all for the determination of the size of the heart. A general notoriety he obtained by publication of the monography about the paroxysmal tachycardia type Bouveret-Hoffmann in 1900. After the preliminary works of Einthoven he belonged to the first German clinicians who dealt with electrocardiography above all problems of arrhythmia. In 1914 he published the second ECG-book in German language. Hoffmann founded the Dusseldorf cardiologic tradition." – NCBI. See: The Evan Bedford Library of Cardiology 522 571. J. F.

Various ephemera laid-in including a note relating to his Czech passport numbered receipts from clients insurance cards pay scale rate cards applications for work letters of intent from prospective employees.

He was notably involved in Queen's Gate mansion blocks the Philimore Estate and Earl's Court in early 1900. In tiny ink script he kept a diligent yearly diary of his work until just ten days before his death on August 19th 1938 detailing his professional relationships as an architect nearly every day for four decades except Sundays. Includes names of clients colleagues and accounts of his projects. As for what he did in his spare time an intriguing 1902 article in the Anglo-American Press mentions that he was also a librettist and author of the opera "The Little Innocents" under the pen name Hugh Stranger. Hoffmann designed and maintained Capel House in 1905-06 now Cable House in London at 56 New Broad Street. His journal entries describe his work at Capel House including the annual building costs over the years applications for work at the House architect's insurance and more. Not only does this archive describe the day-to-day tasks of a busy architect but also keeps log of the outbreak of WWI from a Londoner's perspective. His diaries kept between 1914-1918 log important WWI dates. He declares that the "Banks are closed due to 'war scare' on July 31st1914. He logs that "Germany declares war on England" on August 5th 1914. An insurance slip by "The Government Scheme of Aircraft and Bombardment Insurance" laid-in his 1916 diary charged his account 1500 pounds on the 1st of February to insure Capel House from air raids. On June 13th 1917 he writes "Airplane bombs in city" -- later on the 7th of July he writes "2 airplane raids over London." He writes on Armistice Day November 11 1918 "Armistice between Germany & Allies unchanged." In the interim of air raids and bombings he still keeps a daily log of calls meetings and projects. One of his most noteworthy projects Roxburgh Mansions Kensington London constructed in 1899 were eventually destroyed in The Blitz of WWII.

FROM THE JACKET FLAP: "Old Wine New Flasks is a unique and provocative look at how science and religion--too often considered at odds with one another--are actually parallel ways of trying to make sense of the same material world each a voice intertwining with the other to help shape true human understanding." ROALD HOFFMANN born 1937 is a Polish American theoretical chemist who has also published plays and poetry. He is the Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters Emeritus at Cornell University. He and his family escaped to America from the Holocaust except for his father who was killed by the Nazis. He earned his Master of Arts degree in 1960 from Harvard University and PhD from Harvard while working under joint supervision of Martin Gouterman and Nobelist William N. Lipscomb Jr. In 1965 he went to Cornell University and remained there where he is a professor emeritus. Hoffmann's research and interests have been in the electronic structure of stable and unstable molecules and in the study of transition states in reactions. For this work Hoffmann received the 1981 Nobel Prize in chemistry sharing it with Japanese chemist Kenichi Fukui who had independently resolved similar issues. W.H. Freeman and Co. hardcover books
