Life

Little is known about the family background. There are some indications of family ties to Berlin. He completed his school education at the Bender Institute in Weinheim (Baden) and the Mannheim secondary school. The university education took place at the Technical University of Hanover and from 1898 to 1902 at the Technical University of Darmstadt . His teacher in Darmstadt was in particular Friedrich Pützer . In November 1902 he passed the main examination for building construction. As early as the summer semester of 1902 and then after graduation, he first worked in Pützer's studio in Darmstadt. In the winter semester of 1905/1906, Wehner received the title of graduate engineer at the Technical University of Darmstadt on the basis of an award-winning work from 1901, a design for a head forester's house in the Odenwald. In 1906 Wehner started his own business in Düsseldorf. There is evidence of a collaboration with Pützer in 1914/1915 at the Dankeskirche in Düsseldorf-Benrath . From 1913 to 1916 Wehner was a lecturer at the Düsseldorf Art Academy . In the 1920s he was a city ​​councilor and in the German National People's Party . Wiener attests to a conservative attitude.
