Life
Wilhelm Schulte II. Was the son of the architect Wilhelm Schulte I. born. After high school and military service in 1916 (with the German Alpine Corps in the First World War in the Battle of Verdun and in Romania) he studied at the Technical University of Munich . After the main diploma examination and the subsequent legal clerkship , the 2nd state examination followed in 1925 and the subsequent appointment as a government master builder ( assessor in the public building administration). However, he soon resigned from the civil service and became head of the Würzburg office of the architect Albert Boßlet, who is known for church construction .
From 1931 Schulte was an independent architect in his native Neustadt. A number of church buildings were built. During the Second World War he was involved in major construction projects for the Luftwaffe ( Atzenhof old airport ). Totally bombed out in the attack on Würzburg , he worked with Albert Boßlet to rebuild the city.
In 1949 Wilhelm Schulte was appointed head of the newly created Episcopal Building Office of the Diocese of Speyer, found a rich field of activity, initially in the reconstruction and repair of the many destroyed and damaged church buildings, especially along the 130 km long Westwall front and then in numerous new buildings and conversions. In the case of the Dreifaltigkeitskirche in Ludwigshafener Hemshof and St. Pirmin in Pirmasens , he was responsible for rebuilding churches that his father had once built.
For his services to church building, Wilhelm Schulte II was awarded by Pope Johannes XXIII. awarded the New Year's Eve .
Officially retired in 1963, Schulte and his son Hubert Schulte (the third generation of architects in the family) worked on several church and home buildings in the Palatinate and Saarland .
