Adolf Bötticher

Bötticher was born in Blumberg, Brandenburg, and studied at the Bauakademie in Berlin (1865–68).

After performing excavatory work in Greece from 1875 to 1877, he published a weekly newspaper for architects and engineers (Wochenblatt für Architekten und Ingenieure).

In 1886 Bötticher headed the registry for historic buildings and art monuments in East Prussia, and in 1891 he was named conservator for the province.

From 1891 to 1898 he published the 8-volume Die Bau und Kunstdenkmäler der Provinz Ostpreussen (9th volume, 1899 by Walther von Schimmelfennig),[2] documenting architectural and artistic landmarks of East Prussia.
