Arnold Wolff

[2] Born in Stadt Wevelinghoven [de], district of Grevenbroich, Wolff, the son of a teacher couple, grew up with four younger siblings in Kapellen/Erft.

After one semester of teacher training at the Pädagogische Akademie in Cologne, Wolff studied architecture at the RWTH Aachen from November 1954, where he graduated in autumn 1961.

[3] At the RWTH, the Cologne master builder Willy Weyres, who had a teaching assignment in Aachen, became aware of the student Wolff.

This primarily concerns the reinstatement of the large west window by Carl Julius Milde, which was created in the years from 1865 to 1870 and was expanded but damaged in the Second World War.

Wolff was married to Gerta Ramjoue (1935-2018), author of the city and museum guide Das römisch-germanische Köln (1981), which was published several times.
