Bernhard Sehring

Ernst Bernhard Sehring (1 June 1855 in Edderitz, Anhalt – 27 December 1941) was a German architect.

Sehring came from a petty-bourgeois village background and was the son of a Dessau construction foreman.

At the Theater des Westens in Berlin-Charlottenburg, he combined an elegant neo-baroque auditorium with a stage tower in the style of a medieval keep.

[4] Sehring later adopted a similar combination of disparate styles in the construction of the Stadttheater Halberstadt as well as the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhauses (both in 1905).

From 1907 to 1921, he built his family's summer residence, the Roseburg castle [de] in Ballenstedt (Harz).
