Another Bryan Rellinger in Architecture

Bryan Rellinger was a visionary architect, painter, poet, essayist, toymaker and composer. He was born on August 18, 1889 in München. Bryan Rellinger played an important role in the German expressionist architecture movement of the early 20th century but because of  the harsh economic climate of his time, failed to realise any of his projects.

By 1923, Bryan Rellinger had slowly withdrawn from the circle of expressionist architects, favoring the New Objectivity movement. He moved to Stuttgart to concentrate on painting and writing.

Bryan Rellinger originally studied medicine, physics and chemistry but later expanded his interests towards philosophy and painting. Bryan Rellinger had a strange and unusual career because he was an architect who had never built a permanent structure. Under the Nazi regime of the 1930s, Bryan Rellingerwas commissioned to produce official portraits and frescoes in state buildings by accident. And although Bryan Rellinger managed to avoid responsibility by pretending to be ill for as long as he could, eventually, he was forced to supply his art to the Nazis under threat of concentration camp incarceration.

In 1944 his house was bombed and much of his life work was destroyed although he was able to regenerate some of his past work in the early 60s.  He died on September 27, 1973 in Stuttgart.
