Life
Carl Tappe was born on July 31, 1816 as the son of the district judge Karl Friedrich August Tappe and his wife Friederike Christiane Meyer in Schöppenstedt. After the early death of his parents (he lost his father at the age of 4, his mother at the age of 14), the higher appeals court procurator Christoph Ludwig Leiste from Wolfenbüttel (father of Bertha Leiste, the wife of Wilhelm Raabe ) took over the guardianship of Carl and his three siblings.
After studying architecture in Braunschweig and Munich, he returned home and worked from 1837 in Wolfenbüttel and later in Gandersheim as a "construction candidate" for the ducal building management. In 1847 he became a building manager in the Gandersheim building district. There he carried out restoration work on the collegiate church and built the train station. In 1855 he became city architect in Braunschweig, and in 1875 he was appointed city building officer. At the Collegium Carolinum , Tappe taught “Beautiful Architecture”, where, among other things, the later town planning officer Ludwig Winter was his student. Tappe retired in 1879 and died on May 8, 1885, without children and without children, of a bladder problem in Braunschweig.
He was buried in the Magnifriedhof there. In 1886, a memorial stone was erected in his honor by his students with a relief portrait created by the Brunswick court sculptor Theodor Julius Heinrich Strümpell on his grave.

Tappe was jointly responsible for the first Braunschweig building code created in 1863, which had become necessary as a municipal monitoring and regulatory instrument due to increasing industrialization and building activity. In 1870 he designed a site plan for the city, which was followed by an expansion plan in 1878. However, this was not implemented.
