About the author
Born on February 24, 1865, in Friedeberg, Neumark, Bruno Schulz was a German architect, architectural historian, and university teacher. Sources consistently identify him with the scholarly and professional world of architecture rather than with the later Polish writer of the same name.
From 1893 onward, he worked in Berlin as a Regierungsbaumeister, a government architect in the Prussian building administration. He later taught at the Technische Hochschule in Hannover and became known for research into historic architecture and building history.
He died in Berlin on April 1, 1932. Although not widely remembered by general readers today, he appears in major reference sources and library records as a serious scholar of architecture whose work contributed to the study of Germany’s architectural past.
