Ludwig Becker (architect)

He studied from 1873 at the Technical University of Aachen and was trained in addition to the stonemason and sculptor at the Cologne Dombauhütte.

After 1909 he partnered with Anton Falkowski, and later with his son, the church architect Hugo Becker (1897–1967).

Becker also worked as a construction researcher at the Mainz Cathedral, who brought important findings to light; however, his conclusions were flawed.

His thesis was that the construction of the Mainz Cathedral was already begun in Constantine the Great's time in the 4th century, but he could not convincingly demonstrate the claim, which was unanimously rejected by experts.

Becker and Falkowski preferred Romanesque and Gothic before the First World War, then simple baroque.
