Anton Aberle

Anton Aberle (November 14, 1876 in Möhringen – August 15, 1953 in Thusis) was a German–Swiss architect.

A Schwarzwald farmer's son, he grew up studying at the Bauhochschule Karlsruhe and in 1904 founded the architectural firm of Robert Curjel und Karl Moser. After managing the construction of a hotel in Feldberg, in 1906 he was sent to St. Gallen, where business office buildings emerged under his leadership.^[1]

In 1909 he started his own business. In addition to various business houses and embroidery factories in St. Gallen, he primarily designed single-family homes in 1920–1921 on the Stahlskelettbau. Aberle built a villa in St Gallen in 1930 and in 1933 he built the first all-steel frame bridge in the town.
