Rudolf Fränkel

He later emigrated to Bucharest, London and the United States, where he became an Architecture professor at Miami University, Ohio.

[7] The first portion of the development to be completed was the Lichtburg cinema[8] and its associated commercial building housing restaurants, meeting and banquet facilities, shops and a bowling alley, next to the S- and U-Bahn station.

He went on to design other residential buildings, housing developments and places of amusement in Berlin and environs, including a block of 400 flats finished in yellow stucco over a brown brick ground floor facing the Schöneberg city park.

[10] After the Nazi seizure of power, Jews and modernists suffered increasingly from discrimination; after 1933 Jewish architects were effectively banned from working, since they could not join the Reichskulturkammer.

In England and Wales, he designed significant industrial and residential buildings that today constitute major examples of "continental modernism".

[2] However, at the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, he was interned for a short time as an "enemy alien".
