Heinrich Ernst Schirmer and the Cosmopolitan Historicism of Nineteenth Century Europe

The nineteenth century may have been the age of the nation state, yet early to mid nineteenth century Europe was a cosmopolitan place. This is true not least in the field of architecture, with European architects studying and working across national boundaries with astonishing ease. Heinrich Ernst Schirmer (1814-1887), who went from studies in his native Germany to become one of Norway’s most important architects, is a case in point. Using Schirmer’s cosmopolitan historicism as a point of departure, this lecture investigates the way nineteenth century architects merged the universal and the national by means of style.
