At the time of the German Empire , Carl Krack initially studied in Buxtehude at the technical center there and at the Buxtehude building trade school . In the early 1890s he moved to Hanover , where he studied from 1892 to 1893 under the matriculation 10167 at the Technical University as a student of Conrad Wilhelm Hase and others.
