Career

Only shortly after completing his doctorate at the University of Hanover as Dr.-Ing. With a thesis on the formerly independent city of Linden, which now belongs to Hanover , Walter Buschmann joined the Rhineland State Conservator, who was then still based in Bonn (today LVR Office for Monument Preservation in the Rhineland), on January 15, 1980 as a practical monument conservator . As an area officer, he initially looked after the monuments of the city of Essen and the northern part of the Kleve district . From 1990 until his resignation on May 1, 2014, he was head of the “Technical and Industrial Monuments” department in the inventory department. With around 2500 monuments in this category, the Rhineland has a density that is unique in Europe. Walter Buschmann presented these previously largely unknown monuments to a broader public in countless lectures, numerous essays and further publications. In particular, in cooperation with the "Förderverein Rheinische Industriekultur eV", he aroused the interest of the public with his research.

In addition to his full-time job, Walter Buschmann has also repeatedly taken on teaching positions, for example at the universities in Essen (GHS), Cologne (FH) and Dortmund (TU) and, since 1995, at RWTH Aachen University. There he completed his habilitation in 1998 with a large inventory of the "collieries and coking plants in the Rhenish coal mining", which was published in the same year as the first generic inventory in the series on the "architectural and art monuments of North Rhine-Westphalia". Since 2010 Walter Buschmann has been teaching at RWTH Aachen University as an adjunct professor in the teaching and research area of ​​monument preservation (focus on technology and industry).
