Biography
Ernst Balser studied at the Art School in Offenbach from 1918-26 and was an architect of the classical modernist school. In the 1920s he planned the City and University Library for Frankfurt am Main. After World War II, he built the department store “Ott and Heinemann” at the well-known shopping mall “Zeil” in Frankfurt and in 1957 designed the District Government Center in Trier.
His first design in the 1932 Olympic Art Competition was the Stadium at Frankfurt am Main, his second the Stadium in Wien, that he presented along with the Frankfurt director of horticulture Max Bromme. His design for the Prater Stadium in Wien was not realized.
