Branch, Christinus Bonifacius van der (jr.) [1900-1977].

Christiaan Bonifacius van der Tak (Rotterdam, August 17, 1900 - Oosterbeek, March 7, 1977) was a Dutch architect. He was city architect of Amersfoort from 1928 to 1945. In that year he was relieved of his position by the German occupiers. Van der Tak designed the aula complex of Cemetery Rusthof in 1930. Van der Tak designed the Open Air School for Amersfoort on Hobbemastraat in 1932, this was very experimental at the time. Not only the windows of the building could be opened, but also the walls of the classrooms could be pushed away. In 1932, Van der Tak also designed the Johan van Oldenbarnevelt Municipal Gymnasium, an example of Business Expressionism. In 1941, Van der Tak designed Amersfoort's new police station. The building was demolished in 1978, something many people regretted at the time. Van der Tak also did many restorations in Amersfoort, both before and during WWII. He was a great-grandson of architect C. B. van der Tak.
