Hinnerk Scheper, (born 6 September 1897 in Wulften (Badbergen); district of Bersenbrück/Osnabrück), as 'Gerhard Hermann Heinrich Scheper; died 5 February 1957 in Berlin) was a German colour designer, mural painter, architectural colorist, non-fiction author, photographer, monument conservator, restorer, state curator, and urban planner.

With the simultaneous attendance of a further education school in nearby Osnabrück, Hinnerk expanded his knowledge in the subjects drawing and mathematics.

In 1915, after successful completion of his journeyman's examination, he found his first job in Quakenbrück with painter Rudolf Engel and in 1916 he worked in the post office in Badbergen, as his master received a military service obligation to a shipyard in Bremen.

[4][5] Under the leadership of director Hannes Meyer, who succeeded Walter Gropius on 1 April 1928, a group was appointed to develop designs for the Bauhaus Wallpaper Collection; they were Hinnerk Scheper, Ludwig Hilberseimer, Josef Albers and Joost Schmidt.

After initial difficulties, the wallpaper became a complete economic success and through constant modernisation, the patterns also outlasted the Bauhaus closure up to today's Rasch range.

In this way we were able to generalise and popularise our type of wall treatment and also our principle of interior design by means of mechanical reproduction to an industrial product that is accessible to all.

The ten Victorias in the frieze on the entablature were modelled by Johann Gottfried Schadow "with care" according to Schinkel's designs and cast in lead.

Schinkel had designed the figures for the gable field; however, the relief was not modeled in an altered form and cast in zinc until 1842 by Kiss.

In 1930, the guardrooms inside the Neue Wache were removed, and the New Guardhousewas converted by Tessonow into the Reich Memorial and handed over by the Reichswehr to the care of the Prussian Ministry of Finance.

Other circles, e.g. the Freie Deutsche Jugend (FDJ) and head of the Amt Museen, Dr. Behrsing, were in favor of the complete demolition.

On January 24, 1949, Behrsing wrote to City Councilor Kreuziger, among others: "It seems to me absolutely necessary that the problem of fate of the New Guardhouse Unter den Linden, which had remained unsolved under the old magistrate, be urgently resolved under the present changed circumstances.

The Social Democratic magistrate has done nothing further in this matter, just as he treated all questions related to the preservation of historical monuments from an aesthetic point of view at best.

The Freie Deutsche Jugend (FDJ) wrote in its declaration of February 10, 1949, signed by Peter Frey: "We also feel it would be better spatially if the ruins of the memorial were to disappear as quickly as possible.

p. 428 The Free German Federation of Trade Unions wrote on March 2, 1949: "Concerns memorial Unter den Linden.

I announce the opinion of the central cultural commission of the FDGB Groß-Berlin on the question, which dealt with it in detail at its last meeting on March 1, 1949.

After the collapse, the Department of Repatriation at the Amt Museen recovered the three fallen Viktorien and parts of the gable relief and brought them to the National Gallery.

On December 22, 1922, he married his wife Lou, née Hermine Luise Berkenkamp in the city church St. Peter and Paul in Weimar.

[22] Scheper carried out restoration measures at the Sacrow Castle [de], Kammergericht, the Reich Forestry Office and Prinz-Albrecht-Palais in Berlin.

"The reconstruction of Berlin, in particular the rescue and restoration of historical buildings, churches and palaces, remains closely associated with the name Hinnerk Scheper.
