Paul Troost
Paul Ludwig Troost (August 171878 –  21 March 1934) born in Elberfeld. An extremely tall, spare-looking, reserved Westphalian with a close-shaven head, Troost belonged to a school of architectsPeter Behrens and Walter Gropius who, even before 1914, reacted sharply against the highly ornamental Jugendstil and advocated a restrained, lean architectural approach, almost devoid of ornament. Troost graduated from designing steamship décor before World War I, and the fittings for showy transatlantic liners like the Europa, to a style that combined Spartan traditionalism with elements of modernity.
