Carl Woelck (1889)

Carl Woelck (born September 21, 1868 in Rosenberg in West Prussia , † September 23, 1937 in Berlin-Weißensee ) was a German administrative lawyer . As mayor from 1906 to 1919 he managed the change from Weißensee to a town.

Life

After graduating from high school in Thorner , Carl Woelck studied law at the University of Leipzig . He became active in the Corps Lusatia Leipzig . Since he could not give satisfaction to bare weapons because of a lung disease , he became a corps bow bearer . In 1896 he was awarded a Dr. iur. PhD .

In 1900 he became a city ​​councilor in Schöneberg . In 1905 the village of Weißensee and Neu-Weißensee were amalgamated into one large community with 37,500 residents. Woelck was elected their community leader on November 14, 1905. He won Carl James Bühring as town planning officer. With him he wanted to "turn the haphazard mix of village properties, fields, roads, houses and factories into an exemplary community" and achieve city ​​law . With Otto Pasedag , he ensured industrial settlements , the generous construction of simple and exclusive apartments, the supply of building land and projects with favorable mortgage terms , the development of transport routes and the energy and water supply, as well as his own sewage systems . Bühring's new town center - a brick ensemble with a school, town hall, pumping station and residential buildings - is a listed building . Oberregierungsrat Woelck arranged the purchase of the White Lake and the design of the promenade as a public park . The establishment of the community forum between 1908 and 1912 based on Bühring's designs is one of his achievements. He gave up when Weissensee did not become an independent city, but a suburb of Greater Berlin . The area east of the White Lake is today characterized by urban development, which essentially goes back to Woelck.
