Life

Otto Pasedag studied civil engineering at the Technical University of Stuttgart and later played a key role in the development of what is now Berlin's district as a councilor for community development in Weißensee . In addition to Carl Woelck and Hermann Ruthenberg , after the union of the village and estate district of Weißensee, he planned the division into areas with upscale, medium-sized and simple residential areas and the large commercial and industrial areas separated from them.

His work came to an abrupt end when he in 1915 as a soldier (sergeant in the Landwehr Infantry Regiment. 48) in the First World War fell.
