Family grave of Wilhelm von Tettau, Alter St.-Matthäus-Kirchhof in Berlin, Dept. DW-026

He was the youngest son of Wilhelm Johann Albert Freiherr von Tettau (1804-1894), senior councilor and department director in Erfurt, and his wife Adolphine Friederike Karoline, née Herrmann (* 1838). He came from an old aristocratic family , but acknowledged bourgeois values ​​and also sympathized with the reformed arts and crafts movement at the turn of the century.

Tettau graduated from the humanistic grammar school and on March 21, 1891 joined the 2nd Guard Regiment on foot of the Prussian Army as a flag junior . Here he was promoted to second lieutenant on August 18, 1892 with a patent from October 18, 1891 . On May 14, 1895, he was transferred to the Queen Elisabeth Guard Grenadier Regiment No. 3 , before Tettau transferred to the reserve on December 15 of the same year in order to begin studying architecture in the winter semester of 1895/96 - initially at the Technical University Charlottenburg , after the sixth semester at the Technical University of Karlsruhe . Tettau began his legal clerkship as a government building supervisor in 1900 , after passing the 2nd state examination he was appointed government building master ( assessor in public construction) in 1904. From 1911 he taught at the Royal Art Academy in Kassel .

Tettau developed his main activity around 1900. He won several competitions, including the Schinkel Prize and thus a scholarship for a trip to Italy, Greece and Constantinople, and also emerged as the author of numerous articles. In terms of buildings, he mainly created residential houses, u. a. also for the German Cooperative Eichkamp in the Berlin settlement of the same name Eichkamp .

In 1907 he married Countess Ada Niëvo. Tettau fought as a captain in World War I and was seriously wounded off Verdun in 1915 .

According to Tettau's plans, the Feuerschlößchen (Villa Girardet) in Bad Honnef and the Kaiser Wilhelm Tower on the Hohe Acht were built . In addition, the Tettau ensemble at the horse market in Duderstadt goes back to him , which was built after the great city fire in 1911, as he had previously designed solid buildings instead of traditional half-timbered houses for the multiple fire-damaged city center of Duderstadt. In 1910 he received a gold medal for art and science for the plans to rebuild the city center.

For his own family he built an Art Nouveau villa in Berlin- Lankwitz , in which he spent the last years of his life. The building at Corneliusstrasse 31 has not been preserved.

A monument to Kaiser Wilhelm I in Bielefeld , which he designed in 1907, has also not been preserved . The monument was demolished after the First World War after it became dilapidated.
