Jaster built the house at Luitpoldstrasse 5-6 in Berlin-Schoeneberg in 1898 and the house at Geisbergstrasse 40 in 1899 (both are now cultural monuments). On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Jaster's death on March 5th, 2003, the following is said about the first house: "Many simplifications of facades affected the old buildings in the 1950s and 1960s. This was later "repaired" with (well-intentioned, but often critically appraised) "historicizing" facade cladding and paintings. Nevertheless, this Schöneberger house from 1898 is worthy of a monument. It is a representative house that clearly shows the rapid development of the northern part of Schöneberg after the incorporation of Berlin in 1861. This house and Luitpoldstrasse are south of the Schwarzer Graben, a piece of land that was largely undeveloped until the late 1880s and belonged to the Berlinische Boden-Gesellschaft - Georg Haberland's property company, which was one of the most influential companies of the late 19th century. and early 20th century.

Alfred Jaster was born in 1861, he died 70 years ago today."

About the director Karl Möllinger (source: wikipedia):
Karl Mollinger
(* 14. April 1822 in Grünstadt; † 5 March 1895 in Höxter; also Carl Möllinger) was a German architect and architecture teacher who founded the first Prussian building trades school in Höxter in 1864, from which today's Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences developed.
life
:
Karl Möllinger was born in Grünstadt, in the Bavarian Palatinate. His parents were Jacob Moellinger and Maria nee Würz. After attending schools in Grünstadt and Germersheim, he found employment in the construction of fortifications in Germersheim, where he settled
worked more and more into the construction trade. Finally, he studied civil engineering at the Munich Polytechnic, graduated and began working there as an architect, which he later relocated to his native Palatinate.
As early as 1846, Möllinger published the following books with Verlag Roller in Munich: “Elements of the pointed arch style; systematically developed based on the most excellent architectural and artistic monuments from the heyday of the Middle Ages" and shortly thereafter "Elements of the round arch style for schools and for technical purposes, as well as instructions for self-instruction for architects, sculptors, painters, stonemasons, etc., together with a collection of excellent buildings and Art Monuments from the Middle Ages and the Modern Era”. Both books specifically conveyed detailed practical experience, especially in the neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque architectural style.
A recent book says:
"
As a counterpart to "Elements of the pointed arch style", Karl Möllinger published a textbook for arched architecture in the same year. The term round arch does not describe the Romanesque world of forms, but a stylistic conglomeration of antique, Romanesque and early Gothic elements. Precise, purely geometric drawings show them in outlines, sections and details. The spectrum ranges from facade elevations to [...] window and door openings, tracery, profiles, cornices and battlements, gallery and balcony lattices, etc."

In order to increase the awareness of his creations and ideas and to be able to better influence the contemporary style, Karl Möllinger went in 1856 as a teacher at the then already very renowned building trade school of Friedrich Ludwig Haarmann in Holzminden, in the Duchy of Brunswick. He worked here until 1863, then moved to Höxter and founded his own building trades school there in 1864. The institute opened on April 14. Nov 1864; 94 residents of the town of Höxter had assumed financial responsibility for the private educational institution as guarantors. The Höxter school of building trades was the first of its kind in what was then the Kingdom of Prussia. on the 1st On April 1, 1869, the sponsorship of the school passed to the city of Höxter; its founder, architect Karl Möllinger, remained director until 1888.

Through a contract between the Kingdom of Prussia and the city of Höxter, the institution was nationalized in 1885 and was now known as the Royal Prussian Building Trades School Höxter. Möllinger worked in Höxter until 1888, for 24 years, as director and teacher of his institute, through which he brought his variety of forms closer to generations of students.

Century.” Seriously ill in the last years of his life, he had to be cared for by his wife and died in Höxter in 1895.
Höxter had become Möllinger's second home and he was one of his most respected citizens. That is why a monument was erected there with a portrait bust, created by Ernst Habs. It was on the 7th. March 1897 was inaugurated, which was even reported in the press in the Palatinate at the time. In Höxter there is a Möllingerplatz and a Möllingerstraße, which are named after the Palatinate architect.
The building trades school founded by Karl Möllinger developed into a technical college and eventually became the Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences. The man from the Palatinate laid the foundation for Höxter to become a university town.
