Personal life

Recha Charlotte Cohn was born on August 20, in Charlottenburg, Berlin to Bernhard and Cäcilie Cohn.[3] In 1912 Cohn matriculated at the Technical University of Berlin; she graduated from the university's faculty of architecture in 1916, as one of the first women to do so.[3][4] In 1921 Cohn moved to Jerusalem, Mandatory Palestine with her sisters. Lotte Cohn died in Tel Aviv on April 7, 1983.

Career

In the city, she worked in the office of architect Richard Kauffmann.[5] Much of Cohn's work during this period focused on the development of a distinct Israeli architectural style.[1] In 1929, Cohn left Kauffmann's office, founding her own firm, where she remained until her retirement in 1968.[1]
