Sebastian Altmann (born January 19, 1827 in Reichenhall, today Bad Reichenhall , † July 27, 1894 in Bozen ) was a German master builder of historicism . From 1857 to 1894 he was the city ​​architect in Bozen.

Sebastian Altmann married Maria Zini from Salurn in 1857 . With her he had two daughters, Maria (* 1858) and Albertina (* 1859). Maria married one of Kramer; Albertina Johann Bittner, who became Altmann's successor as master builder.

Altmann's activity in Bolzano - apart from numerous individual buildings - shaped the cityscape primarily through the design of the so-called " Neustadt ", the first modern city ​​expansion that was regularly laid out from 1870 in the gusset of the two city rivers Eisack and Talfer . In addition to residential buildings (by Mayrhauser, among others), functional buildings such as the state rifle barracks (today police headquarters) and the Palace of Justice (today Carabinieri base) were built here from the late 19th century.

In Bozen, Sebastian-Altmann-Strasse is a reminder of the former city architect.
