biography

Otto Ameis was born in Hamburg on February 8, 1881.

After an apprenticeship as a bricklayer, he studied from 1904 to 1907 in Braunschweig and Charlottenburg at the Technical University. From 1909 he ran an architectural office with Alfred Jacob. Within a few years, numerous country houses and a few commercial buildings were built in Hamburg under the planning of Jacob & Ameis.

After the First World War , the office was unable to build on its pre-war successes. From 1943 to 1945 Jacob and Ameis worked in the Heeres-Bauamt Hamburg. After Jacob's death in 1945, Ameis continued to run the architectural office on his own. In the post-war period, he mainly dealt with the reconstruction of the buildings he had designed.

Otto Ameis died in Hamburg on January 6, 1958.
