Carl Tuchscherer: 1911-1934 An Innovative German Timber Construction Company
During Carl Tuchscherer’s training as a carpenter and architect at the end of the 19th century, timber design was still dominated by traditional carpentry methods. Following a short period as an independent building contractor for brick and stone constructions Tuchscherer acquired knowledge about building large timber structures as an employee at two timber construction companies. In his own firm from 1911 he concentrated more and more on timber design. His patents for the “Tuchscherer Wide Span Roof Construction“ and the “Tuchscherer Split Ring Connector “, based on scientific findings in statics and material strength enabled his company to build a large number of halls. The structures of these halls were a contribution to the technological development of timber construction, craftsmanship to engineering. Some of the halls with their wide span structures had impressive interiors. They shaped the beginnings of modern timber engineering. Almost all of these halls were destroyed. Only two halls could still be found in existence but they are threatened by collapse or demolition.

Tuchscherer ist ein alter Handwerksberuf des Textilgewerbes. Tuchscherer schnitten mit bis zu 18 kg schweren Bügelscheren die feinen, aus dem Tuch überstehenden Wollfaserreste ab, bis der Stoff eine glatte Oberfläche hatte. Das Scheren ist ein Arbeitsschritt bei der Textilveredelung.
