Hugo Groothoff (23 November 1851 – 30 May 1918), born Carl Heinrich Hugo Groothoff, was a German architect.
Life
In 1874, Hugo Groothoff began working as a construction supervisor in Frankfurt am Main, at the Frankfurt Cathedral construction office, and as an independent architect in Wiesbaden before returning to Hamburg in 1884.
From 1884 to 1887, Groothoff taught at the vocational school. Starting in 1887, he worked again as an independent architect, initially on smaller projects. Later, he gained recognition for his churches in the neo-Gothic style and other public buildings where he blended various architectural styles.
On 19 March 1899, Hugo Groothoff was awarded the Prussian Order of the Crown for his contributions to church construction.[1]
Carl Heinrich Hugo Groothoff was laid to rest in the family plot Koester/Groothoff at Ohlsdorf Cemetery in Hamburg, located in square S 26 / T 26.
In the Winterhude district of Hamburg, Groothoffgasse was named after him in 1929.
