Georg Greve (architect)

Georg Jens Greve (July 28, 1884 – January 4, 1973) was a Norwegian architect.

[1][4] Greve is also the single person that had the greatest influence on shaping the modern center of Bergen built between 1920 and 1940.

After taking his university qualifying exams in 1904 and graduating from the first class at the Military Academy in 1905, Greve went to Trondheim, where he was admitted to the Trondheim Technical School (Norwegian: Trondhjems Tekniske Læreanstalt), which he graduated from in 1909.

After this he worked with the architects Egill Reimers and Jens Zetlitz Monrad Kielland in Bergen until 1911, and he then headed the Stavanger Cement Factor Architects Office until 1914.

[5][6] Greve established his own bureau in Bergen in 1916, where he won second prize in the competition for the zoning plan after the fire that same year.
