Ossip (Yosef) Klarwein (6 February 1893 – 9 September 1970) was a Polish-born German-Israeli architect who designed many works in Germany and Israel. Between 1921 and 1933 he was employed with Johann Friedrich Höger, and became chief design architect. Klarwein was an important representative of Northern German Brick Expressionism and of modern architecture in Israel.[1]: 294 

Life

Germany

Klarwein was born in

Fritz Höger in Hamburg.[1]: 294  Höger's office grew considerably in these years with increasing work orders, requiring additional personnel.[2] Klarwein's designs were at the time published under Höger's name.[3] Höger said that Klarwein was "one of the very best" employees.[2] Between 1930 and 1933 Klarwein supervised the construction of the brick expressionist Church at Hohenzollernplatz
following his designs in Berlin.

In 1934, Klarwein emigrated with his non-Jewish wife Elsa (née Kühne), an opera singer, and their son Mati during the Fifth Aliyah to the British Mandate of Palestine, because they saw no future in Nazi Germany.[1]: 295  Klarwein changed his first name from the Slavic name variant Ossip to the Hebrew form Yosseph.[1]: 295  In Haifa, Klarwein became an independent architect.[1]: 295
