Biography
Johannes Vollmer was a German historicist architect and university educator, renowned mainly for his constructions of Protestant churches throughout Germany. He came from a family of the Hamburg painter and graphic artist Adolph Friedrich Vollmer (1806-75). After training as a bricklayer in Hamburg, he studied at the Technical University of Hannover, particularly focusing on medieval architectural forms under Conrad Wilhelm Hase, the founder of the Hanover architectural school, which was characterized by its inclination towards neo-Gothic architecture. In 1869, he followed Johannes Otzen, whom he met in Hannover, to Berlin as an employee of his construction company and later as his assistant for the subject of brick architecture at the Technical University of Charlottenburg. Following Otzen's abdication in 1885, he was entrusted with his lectures. He was a member of the teaching staff until his retirement in 1904.
