Biography
Joseph Hornecker, born in 1873, brought his architectural skill to projects that helped shape the character of the cities he knew. He took pride in creating works that balanced form and function, always mindful of the people who would inhabit his designs.
During the war years he remained devoted to his craft despite the strain of the times, and he passed away in 1942 with the respect of colleagues and neighbours alike. He rests in Cimetière de Préville, where his legacy continues to be appreciated by those who walk among the buildings he helped to create.
