Biography
Karl Winter was a Czech-German architect and university educator who worked in Prague and Liberec. He studied architecture under Arthur Payr at the German Technical University in Prague. Until 1927, he lived in Prague and then moved to Liberec (then Reichenberg), where he taught at the State Trade School (later the Secondary Industrial School of Construction). From 1938 to 1939, he was the director of the vocational school in Děčín. He had to resign from this position due to his Czech wife. He then continued his teaching career in Wrocław. At the end of World War II, he returned to Liberec. After 1945, he was probably not deported because of his Czech wife. Initially, he worked as an employee of the Liberec branch of the nationalized construction company Pittel+Brausewetter. Later, he served as the head of the architectural office Stavoprojekt in Liberec. From 1956 to 1958, he again taught at the Higher Industrial School of Construction in Liberec and worked in the design office of the construction company Stavokombinát Liberec.
