Wilhelm Wille (architect)
Wilhelm Wille (* 1877 ; † 1929 ) was a German architect and Prussian construction officer .
Wille worked in the state building administration and worked for around two decades on the construction of the Pergamon Museum in Berlin , which was carried out under the direction of Ludwig Hoffmann , until his death . On this project he also worked with the structural engineer Otto Leitholf .
Wille did not agree with the presentation of the Pergamon Altar as part of Alfred Messel's museum design and suggested alternatives for the presentation, which led to controversy in the 1920s.
His professional relationship with Ludwig Hoffmann does not seem to have been affected by this, Hoffmann wrote in a short obituary in 1929:
“And this interest in the work, this commitment of his personality to the cause he served, that was what showed up again and again over these 30 years in which I was able to follow his development without interruption, in all the work that he did were transferred. That was what made him a tireless helper for so many construction tasks, (...) "
Wilhelm Wille was buried in the Berlin Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Cemetery in Charlottenburg - Westend . The grave has not been preserved.
