Biography
Conrad Wilhelm Hase was a German neo-Gothic architect and university professor. He came from a large customs family. From 1834 to 1838, he studied architecture in Hanover. However, after finishing school, he was unable to find employment, so he returned home to help his father at the customs office. At the suggestion of one of his teachers, Ernst Ebeling, he apprenticed as a bricklayer under builder Christoph August Gersting. In 1840, he passed the journeyman's examination and then embarked on a six-month journey across Germany to see various architectural styles. A scholarship from the city of Einbeck allowed him to complete his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. In 1842, he returned to Hanover and took a position with Gersting's construction company. In 1843, he managed to obtain a position as a construction manager at the Royal Hanoverian State Railways, where he designed and oversaw construction work on several railway stations. In 1848, he began restoration work on the church at the Loccum Abbey and found his true calling in teaching. The following year, he became a teacher at the Technical University of Hanover and was one of the founders of the Association of Architects and Engineers. Among his students there were Edwin Oppler, Heinrich Gerber, Wilhelm Walter, Georg Kegel, and Richard Kampf.
