Life

He was the son of the builder Johann Boumann, who immigrated from the Netherlands, and the brother of Georg Friedrich von Boumann .

He began his career in 1763 as a construction manager at the then Baukomptoir, later the court building department in Berlin. From 1767 to 1770 he worked as a construction manager, among other things for buildings in Quedlinburg , was appointed building inspector in 1770 by Princess Amalie , the abbess of Quedlinburg, and had been his father's assistant since 1771. In 1777 he was employed as an assessor at the Oberbaudepartement , but also remained a member of the court building department. In 1778 he became a senior building officer and in 1787 a secret senior building officer. In 1794 he was given the title of secret chief finance councilor and chief building manager, as head of the building department. He was one of the founders of the Berlin Bauakademie (1799) and was a leading member of the Order of Freemasons . He participated in the drafting of a new basic constitution for German Freemasonry in 1797. For this purpose, the Obermeister Boumann Foundation was established in 1867 in recognition of his services .

The Boumannstrasse in Berlin-Reinickendorf is named after him.
