Theodor Bülau

While there, he received a commission from Karl Alexander, 5th Prince of Thurn and Taxis, to restore the frescoes in the dome of Neresheim Abbey; a project that occupied him until 1828.

He returned home in 1842, following the Great Fire, hoping to obtain work on the reconstruction, and publishing several newspaper articles on how he felt it should proceed.

He joined with Alexis de Chateauneuf in calling for brick buildings to be given preference over plastered ones, as being in line with "republican tradition".

After 1845, he gave drawing lessons at the Johanneum and, after 1847, at the Patriotische Gesellschaft [de], in a building he designed.

[1] After his death, most of his estate papers passed into the hands of the Architekten- und Ingenieurverein Hamburg [de], and were destroyed in World War II, during Operation Gomorrah.
