Hugo Weber on the terrace of the building inspectorate on Holzstrasse

Weber worked as a freelance architect together with Ludwig Klingenberg in Oldenburg before he entered the Bremen civil service in 1899.

In 1890, Klingenberg and Weber achieved one of their greatest successes with their competition design for the courthouse on Domsheide in Bremen, for which they received a second prize and then the contract to carry out the construction. Then in 1896 they successfully applied with a design for a new coffee house in the Bürgerpark, for whose construction the brewery director Lambert Leisewitz contributed the construction costs of 50,000 marks on the occasion of his silver wedding anniversary. This also resulted in a few smaller orders for the Bürgerparkverein. These include the music pavilion at the coffee house, in 1900 the renovation work on the stables at the dairy and in the following year the establishment of the Elisen Foundation. Weber remained connected to the Bürgerpark for many years - he oversaw the association's construction activities - after he had started working in Building Inspection I of the Bremen building administration. From the activity with Klingenberg, the competition design for the decoration of the planned new Small Weser Bridge, which was awarded a 3rd prize in 1901, the Sparkasse am Buntentorsteinweg (1897), the Strandlust in Vegesack (1898) and the restoration of the Church of Our Lady should also be mentioned that had been started by Max Salzmann . The collaboration with Klingenberg lasted until 1901. For the last two years, the architectural office in Bremen was located in Haus Am Wall 18. Hugo Weber lived in this house with his family until 1921, when he moved into an official apartment in the Parkallee 37, next to the Am Barkhof school .

In 1899, Weber replaced Heinrich Flügel in the management of the Bremen Building Inspectorate in the Bremen building administration . Initially a temporary building inspector , then from 1901 as a building officer. In addition to numerous school buildings, the St.-Jürgen-Asyl psychiatric sanatorium and nursing home and in 1903 the technical center on Langemarckstrasse were built under his direction .
