I am starting with his last building before his death. The Gustav-Siegle-Haus, a place for music, arts and education, was built by Theodor Fischer from 1910 to 1912, but it has been destroyed during the second world war in 1944. So Martin Elsaesser, one of Fischer's former students, rebuilt it from original plans. Gérard Michel also drew it when he visited me in Stuttgart.
The Stuttgart covered market hall was built from 1911 to 1914. It was nearly the first modern building in the still medievally shaped centre of Stuttgart.
This job was a kind of breakthrough for Elsaesser - in the 1920s he secured the deal for Frankfurt's great market hall (Großmarkthalle) and many more buildings in this town.
