Werner Hegemann (June 15, 1881 - April 12, 1936) was a city planner, architecture critic, and political writer in Germany's Weimar Republic.  His published criticism of Hitler and the Nazi party required him to leave Germany with his family in 1933.  In 1912, Hegemann accepted an invitation from Frederic C. Howe, Director of the People's Institute in New York, to give lectures on city planning in over 20 American cities.  His observations during his lecture tour influenced his plan for Oakland and Berkeley.
