Adolph Doebber

Adolph Doebber (20 August 1848 – 22 April 1920) was a German architect, master builder and architectural historian, with a particular focus on neoclassical architecture in Berlin and how it related to its equivalent in Weimar and to Goethe—for example, he published on the architect Heinrich Gentz, who built the Goethe-Theater in Lauchstädt and worked on the Schloss in Weimar.

Life

Born in Magdeburg, he graduated from the Royal Wilhelm Gymnasium in Berlin in 1868 and then attended the Bauakademie in the same city. He passed the master builder's qualification in 1876 before becoming involved in the construction of the Preußische Hauptkadettenanstalt. After that he was employed by the Prussian Army's administration in Spandau.

In 1892 he became intendant advisor and building advisor to III Corps's intendant's office. In 1898 he retired to focus wholly on architectural history, settling in Weimar in 1918, where he died two years later.
