Julius Poesener
Julius Posener was twenty-two years old in 1926 when he entered Hans Poelzig's design course in Berlin. His three years of study with Poelzig had an enormous impact on him. Forced to flee Germany in 1933, Posener lived in Paris, then Israel, served in the British army in Germany, and taught in Malaysia. In 1961, he returned to Berlin, where he writes, teaches, and is actively involved with the city's planning and architecture.
