Wilhelm Albermann

Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Albermann (28 May 1835, Werden an der Ruhr – 9 August 1913, Cologne) was a German sculptor.

He attended the Rektoratsschule [de] in Werden until he was sixteen, then served an apprenticeship as a wood sculptor, in Elberfeld.

His Company Commander recognized his artistic talent, and allowed him to attend the Prussian Academy of Art while on duty.

After his discharge from the army, he initially worked for his former teachers, Hugo Hagen and August Fischer [de].

Among his best known works are the statues of Ferdinand Franz Wallraf and Johann Heinrich Richartz, in front of the Museum für Angewandte Kunst, which they founded.
