Carl Gotthard Langhans (15 December 1732 – 1 October 1808) was a Prussian builder and architect. His works are among the earliest buildings in the German classicism movement. His best-known work is the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. == Life == Langhans was born in Landeshut, Silesia. He was not educated as an architect. He studied law from 1753 to 1757 in Halle, and then mathematics and languages, and engaged himself autodidactically with architecture, at which he concentrated primarily on the antique texts of the Roman architecture theorist Vitruvius (and the new version by the classics enthusiast Johann Joachim Winckelmann. His first draft of "zum Schifflein Christi" for the Protestant Church in 1764 in Groß-Glogau earned him his first recognition as an architect, and in the same year, an appointment as building inspector for the Count of Hatzfeld, whose war-ravaged palace he had rebuilt to his own design between 1766 and 1774. Through the intervention of the Count of Hatzfeld, he also became known in the royal court in Berlin. As his first work in the service of the royal family, he built in 1766 the stairwell and the Muschelsaal in Castle Rheinsberg. E.g. he prepared project of chateau Pheasantry (The Princely Pheasantry) in Pszczyna-Poręba in south part of Poland. He died at Grüneiche (Dąbie after 1945 and part of Śródmieście borough of Wrocław) near Breslau. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl Gotthard Langhans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
