Carl Theodor Ottmer

Carl Theodor Ottmer (19 January 1800 in Braunschweig – 22 August 1843 in Berlin) was a German architect.

He began his architectural training in 1816 at the Collegium Carolinum (now the Braunschweig University of Technology)[2] and served an apprenticeship in the building department of the Duchy of Brunswick.

While there he became good friends with Carl Friedrich Zelter, leader of the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin.

[1] He later refused an appointment as Court Architect in Berlin and spent the years 1827 to 1829 travelling through France and Italy.

[4] After a major fire virtually destroyed the Brunswick Palace in 1830, he became the Court Architect for Braunschweig.
