Wilhelm Voigt (born December 6, 1857 , † September 14, 1916 in Kiel ) was a German architect who designed numerous churches in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein as a church builder for the Kieler Kirchengemeindeverband .

style

Voigt came from historicism , but after 1900 broke away from the correct style imitation and turned to the then emerging Schleswig-Holstein homeland security architecture . In doing so, he made use of late Romanesque details such as ornamental friezes as well as arched openings and panel structures.
