Life
Wilhelm Heinrich Elmpt, son of the locksmith August Elmpt, attended the elementary school on Klosterstrasse in Düsseldorf in the afternoon, as well as the municipal boys' drawing school , which was supposed to prepare them for later learning a trade or a technical subject.

Elmpt then worked in various architecture offices and a construction business. After his time as a soldier in World War I, he worked in the architecture department of the Kunstgewerbeschule, whose formative teachers were Wilhelm Kreis and Emil Fahrenkamp . In 1920 Wilhelm Elmpt received the post of chief architect of the Rheinische Bahngesellschaft AG . After 1933 Elmpt became a member of the “Specialist Group Architects” of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts , which was created in the course of harmonization , which was the legal prerequisite for working as an independent or leading architect.
Wilhelm Elmpt's buildings from the 1920s can be attributed to brick expressionism . His estate is kept in the NRW architecture archive. Many of the buildings on the Rheinbahn were built in collaboration with Düsseldorfer Bürohausgesellschaft mbH , which was involved in various important construction projects in the interwar period.
