Christian Heinrich Tramm

After studying at the Technical University of Hanover from 1835 to 1838, he continued his studies with Friedrich von Gärtner in Munich until 1840, then returned to Hanover to work with Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves.

[de ][2] In 1855 he was appointed court architect; the youngest person to hold that position.

The following year, he received a commission to create a new residence for George V; known as the Welfenschloss.

That same year, he had his portrait painted by the court painter Friedrich Kaulbach and, in return, designed a home and studio for him: the Villa Kaulbauch [de] on Waterloostraße.

Their son Heinrich, [de ] only seven at the time, would become Stadtdirektor (city manager) of Hanover in 1891.

The Welfenschloss ( lit. ' Guelph Palace ' ), now the main building of Leibniz University Hannover
Villa Simon [ de ] is another building by Tramm now used by the university
