Wilhelm Walter

Wilhelm Walter (16 June 1850, Rüdenhausen - 8 February 1914, Berlin) was a German architect and construction manager who worked with the Reichspost.

After returning from France, he served a brief apprenticeship as a construction worker, before enrolling at the Technical University of Hanover, where he studied with Conrad Wilhelm Hase.

[1] With these credentials, he was able to find employment as a Master Builder with the Reichspost in Berlin which, at that time, was being directed by Heinrich von Stephan and undergoing a major reorganization.. Stephan recognized Walter's talent, giving him extra duties, as well as enabling him to make research trips to Italy and England.

[1] His first major, independent project involved designing, planning and managing construction of the Main Post Office [de] in Karlsruhe (1897-1900).

His last major project was a complex that included the parcel post center and the Main Telegraph Office [de] in Berlin.
