Ernst Friedrich Zwirner

He studied in Breslau and Berlin, and worked at the latter place under Karl Friedrich Schinkel.

[1] At Cologne, he was next to Vincenz Statz the most important practical representative of Gothic Revival architecture.

Zwirner was assigned the restoration after the death of Friedrich Adolf Ahlert, .

[2] Zwirner's best building is probably the church of St. Apollinaris at Remagen,[3] to which, however, the same objection of monotony of plan has been made.

He designed a mausoleum for the family of Count Ernst Zur Lippe-Biesterfeld on the grounds of the Klosterruine Heisterbach near Königswinter, and built the Rathaus (Town Hall) in Kolberg, Pomerania.
