Schnock tomb

Schnock completed an apprenticeship as a bricklayer and carpenter and had lived in the house at Knesebeckstrasse 85 since the first half of the 1890s. From 1908 he lived in Berlin-Halensee , Kurfürstendamm 130. Schnock was born with Elisabeth. Toebelmann (born June 13, 1872; † June 12, 1958) married, a daughter of the architect Georg Toebelmann . Together with his father-in-law, he set up the asylum for the homeless “Die Wiesenburg”, Wiesenstrasse 55 in Berlin-Gesundbrunnen, for the Berlin Asylum Association for the homeless 1895–1896 .

After the municipality of Deutsch Wilmersdorf left the Teltow district in 1906 and received town charter, Schnock became an unpaid town councilor. He remained Wilmersdorf City Councilor until Wilmersdorf was incorporated into Greater Berlin on October 1, 1920.

Schnock was heavily involved in the construction of the Protestant Hochmeisterkirche , of which he was a member of the church building association. He was able to broker the purchase of the building site at a relatively low price, designed the church and took care of the construction.

Schnock was buried in the Wilmersdorf cemetery in grid square B 11. His grave is adorned with a relief signed “VE Schmidt 1922”.
