biography
family
Schumacher came from an old Bremen family. His great-great-grandfather Isak Hermann Albrecht Schumacher was the last mayor of Bremen for life. He was a cousin of the important Hamburg-born building director Fritz Schumacher , who was born in Bremen .
After 1945 he was married to Inga Schumacher, b. Siebert; both had three children.
education and profession
After graduating from high school, Schumacher studied architecture at the Technical University of Stuttgart, among others with Paul Bonatz . He worked as an architect from 1933 to 1980. In 1933 he founded his architecture office in Bremen and his own house was built on Lüder-von-Bentheimstraße in Bremen - Schwachhausen . In 1937 he received third prize in a building competition for the design of the Luther Church in Bremen. Around 1937/38 he designed houses in Bremen- Grolland and Bremen- Grambke (Kleine Dunge). He lived near Bremen from around 1940 to 1945.
After the Second World War, Schumacher worked in the rather conservative Bremen development community around Gerhard Iversen, which was founded in 1945 . He planned now, among other things, Protestant churches and community centers, administration buildings and many family houses, especially in Oberneuland and Schwachhausen . He became famous in 1953 for the new building of the Deutsche Schifffahrtsbank. The award went to his unrealized design for a pedestrian zone in Sögestraße . In 1961 the red stone-faced new building of the Martin Luther Church with 750 seats in Bremen - Findorff was remarkable . He was also the master builder of the Bremen Cathedral .

- ↑ Bremer Nachrichten of October 8, 1953: “The Deutsche Schiffahrtsbank has built a house for itself. It stands at the Domshof, at the corner of the Bischofsnadel, and with its 30 meters height is an eye-catcher for the large square. For over a year, the architects commissioned with the planning had discussed with the building authorities and the committee for townscape design how the facade should be designed in this exposed part of the townscape before the foundation stone could be laid in the middle of last year "
