Johann Gregor Memhardt

Johann Gregor Memhardt or Memhard (1607 in Linz an der Donau – 1678 in Berlin) was a master builder, architect and politician.

Memhardt emigrated from Linz to the Netherlands in 1622, where he probably learned the art of fortification.

Under his supervision the Berlin Palace was renovated and a chapel built for the Electress Louise Henriette.

In the Lustgarten he built a 'Lusthaus', known from the plan of Berlin published in 1652.

From 1651 Oranienburg Palace and its gardens north of Berlin were built to Memhardt's designs.
