      Here is a Google translate version of this -

      Behrendt was born as the son of the dentist Simon Behrendt (* 1838) and his wife Selma b. Kanter (1857?1923) born in Königsberg. He came from a Jewish family (his grandfather Joseph Behrendt was a member of the Chewra Kadischa). [3] He married Marie Stranz (1886?1961) around 1906 in Berlin. The couple had four children, Peter Paul (* 1907 in Berlin-Steglitz; ? 1990 in Buenos Aires, Argentina), Charlotte Johanna Martha "Lotte", married Carrive (* 1909 in Breslau; ? 2002 in France), Lisbeth "Liesl" , married Mayer (* 1916 in Breslau; ? 2002 in Lima, Peru) and M. [4] [5] [6] [7]

      Behrendt studied at the Technical University of Charlottenburg and at the Technical University of Munich, a. a. with Friedrich von Thiersch. At the beginning of the 20th century he worked as a freelance architect, he built a. a. a villa for the art collector Carl Sachs (1868?1943) in Breslau-Kleinburg. [8] In the spring of 1904 he was appointed government master builder (Assessor of the building trade). [9] In 1909 he was hired by the Wroclaw City Council, later promoted to building inspector and then to building councilor. After the First World War he was head of the city expansion office of the city of Wroclaw (city planning director), which coordinated the planned incorporation and development of the neighboring rural communities and the city of Deutsch-Lissa. On March 1, 1928, he was elected to the city council of Wroclaw as a city council with no portfolio. [10] On April 18, 1929, he was appointed to the post of city building council, which he held until January 31, 1934 (law on the reconstruction of the empire).

      In 1939 Behrendt emigrated to Argentina with his wife and three of his adult children. The daughter Lotte stayed in Europe; she married the French surrealist and Kafka translator Jean Carrive from Bordeaux in 1934. [11]

      In his role as a construction officer, Behrendt designed public buildings, mainly school buildings. The duties and powers of the city building council also included overseeing all construction projects in the city. Research into the archive shows that Behrendt personally checked more important building plans and provided them with green entries. For example, he cut down the southern tower of the post office on Klosterstrasse. Furthermore, the five-storey version of the high-rise building for the Werkbundsiedlung in Breslau planned by Adolf Rading goes back to his intervention. The Werkbund exhibition itself took place under heavy resistance from Behrendt. [12]
