10. Paul Gösch
Paul Gösch began (1885–1940) famous for a series of “fantasy architecture” plans and sketches in 1914. He subsequently suffered a psychotic episode in 1917, and was hospitalised until 1919. From 1921 Gösch increasingly suffered from psychological difficulties; he became a patient at Göttingen where his brother-in-law was the head of the psychiatric institution. In 1934, under the Nazi regime, Gösch was transferred to the Psychiatric Hospital of Brandenburg at Teupitz, where he was not allowed to paint and forced into manual labour. In 1940, personnel from the SS removed Gösch from Teupitz and murdered him. Gösch’s murals still exist on the walls of his room in Göttingen.
