Berthold Konrad Hermann Albert Speer:
(Mannheim, 19 March 1905 – London, 1 September 1981).
German engineer-architect and urban planner. During the Nazi domination of Germany (1933-1945), he was a Reich architect from 1937 and Reich Minister for Armaments and Munitions from 1942. His friendship with Adolf Hitler and his ministry made him considered one of the most powerful men in the Third Reich. After the war, Speer was sentenced to 20 years in prison at Nuremberg.
My dreams always centred on buildings, I didn’t want to be a power, I wanted to be a second Schinkel.
