Swiss architect Konrad Hippenmeier was the chief of the planning office for construction at Zürich, and was responsible for the cemeteries in Rehalp, Nordheim and Enzenbühl. Hippenmeier was one of the first architects to use the urban style. He saw the main task of city planners as maintaining an agricultural belt around the edges of a town. Hippenmeier started his career as a technical draftsman at the Municipal Engineering Office and later studied at Berlin and Zürich. He participated regularly in representative city planning exhibitions at home and abroad, and his work as a city planner was appreciated all around the world. |
