Title:	Der Bauingenieur Karl Bernhard - Erbauer der AEG-Turbinenhalle
Abstract:	Die AEG-Turbinenhalle wurde 1909 fertiggestellt. Sie gilt allgemein als Werk des berühmten Architekten Peter Behrens, der 1907 bis 1914 Chef-Designer und -Architekt der weltweit operierenden Firma AEG war. Anlässlich dieses Jahrestages wird der Ingenieur und Miterbauer der Halle, der Bauingenieur Karl Bernhard vorgestellt, der bei Konzeption und Errichtung des Bauwerkes konstruktiv und gestalterisch eine ganz entscheidende Rolle gespielt hat. Auch anhand von z. T. noch nicht veröffentlichten Untersuchungsergebnissen wird dargelegt, dass der Anteil von Karl Bernhard qualitativ und quantitativ viel größer ist, als es ihm seitens der Bau- und Kunstgeschichte bisher zugebilligt wird. Dabei geht es in erster Linie darum, dieses Phänomen als ein Ergebnis der unterschiedlichen Interessen von Architekten und Bauingenieuren, aber auch von Bau- und Kunsthistorikern zu verstehen. Karl Bernhard - engineer and builder of the AEG-Turbine Hall. The AEG-Turbine Hall was realized in 1909. Generally the hall is considered to be the doing of the renowned architect Peter Behrens, who was the head designer and architect of the world wide operating company AEG. On the occasion of this anniversary the engineer and co-builder will be presented, who relating to the construction and the design, played a very important part in developing the concept and realizing the building. Also, based on partly unreleased results of scientific studies the fact will be pointed out, that Bernard’s share of work was qualitatively and quantitatively much larger than conceded to him on part of art and building history. The point is to put across the fact, that this phenomena, is the result of different interests of architects and engineers and of building and art historians.
