Life

Schröter, son of Alexander Gottlieb Schröter, attended the St. Petersburg Petri School from 1851 to 1856 , after which he studied at the Berlin Art Academy from 1856 to 1862 . In 1858 he was accepted into the Berlin Architects' Association. Immediately after completing his studies, he should have returned to Russia, because as early as 1864 he received the honorary title of "Academic Architect". On July 10, 1867, he entered the imperial Russian service. Schröter became senior architect of the main tapestry administration and chief architect of the Imperial Theater Directorate. On August 30, 1886 he was appointed Real Council of State, later Real Secret Council of State. In 1892 he was appointed professor at the "Institute of Civil Engineers".

Schröter married Marie Christine Nissen in Saint Petersburg in 1869 (born June 25, 1844 in Saint Petersburg; † June 4, 1924 there). A daughter from this marriage is Anna Ida Antonie Schröter (born September 8, 1877 in Saint Petersburg, † December 18, 1940 in Neustadt , West Prussia ). Schröter was the progenitor of a Russian family of architects whose members still work as architects in Saint Petersburg today.

He was buried in the Evangelical Lutheran cemetery in Saint Petersburg.
