Wilhelm Stier (born May 8, 1799 in Błonie near Warsaw, died September 19, 1856 in Schöneberg, full name: Friedrich Ludwig Wilhelm Stier) was a German architect and university teacher at the Berlin Bauakademie.

Life and career

Wilhelm Stier was born the son of a German warrant officer in the then Prussian province of South Prussia. When this was dissolved in 1807, Wilhelm's family moved to Silesia. From 1812 on Wilhelm lived with relatives in Berlin and attended high school at the Gray Monastery.

Wilhelm studied at the Bauakademie and passed a first exam in 1817.

After four years of compulsory further education in the Rhineland, Wilhelm did not sit for the second exam. Instead he set off on foot via France to Italy where he joined a circle of German artists in Rome, became friends with Schnorr von Carolsfeld and accompanied Hittorff in the study of Greek antiquities in southern Italy. He also participated in publications by the Prussian envoy Bunsen on the history of Rome.

In October 1824 Wilhelm Stier got to know Schinkel on the latter's second trip to Italy. Schinkel felt Stier's artistic talent, wanted to win him over as a teacher for the Bauakademie, and arranged for him a Prussian state scholarship, which enabled Stier to continue his studies of ancient architecture for another two years.

After five years in Italy, Stier started to teach design and later art history at the Bauakademie around Easter 1828, although he had passed only one very junior exam. After some pressure, he took a simplified second exam and as a result received the title of professor. From 1841 he was a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts. In 1842 he became a member of the Academy of Sciences in Berlin and 1853 in Munich. In 1847 Stier, who was a charismatic teacher, became the center of a circle of student admirers which exists to this day and cultivates Stier's memory.

Stier created numerous study and teaching designs, inter alia for the Berlin Cathedral. He rejected the imitation of historical styles. He lived since 1837 in the popularly called "Stierburg" house, the only house he actually ever built.

On January 18, 1851 he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Red Eagle Order.

His grave monument created by Friedrich August Stüler carries the inscription "To the friend, to the teacher - by the architects of Germany".

Family

Wilhelm Stier was the father of the architect Hubert Stier (1838 - 1907), grandfather to landscape architect Rudolf Stier (1890 - 1966), Director of Parks & Gardens in Kassel, Germany and Vienna, Austria, and great grandfather of architect and urban planner Hubert Hoffmann (1904 - 1999), professor at the Technical University of Graz in Austria.
