About Otto von Estorff (source: wikipedia):

Otto von Estorff (* 18. November 1896 in Berlin; † 15 March 1974 in Gelsenkirchen-Horst) was a German architect.

Life and work: The son of the First Lieutenant and later Major General Carl Otto von Estorff (1865-1925) studied from 1920 to 1923 at the Technical University of Berlin. From 1923 to 1925 he trained in the construction office of the Reichsbank under Heinrich Wolff and in 1926 he was appointed government master builder (assessor in the public building administration). In 1927, together with his college friend Gerhard Winkler, von Estorff founded an architects' partnership in Potsdam, in which Otto's older brother Hans von Estorff (* 7. July 1895) collaborated. They dealt primarily with the design and realization of houses in a country house style. The Estorff und Winkler office developed into the most commissioned and most successful Potsdam architectural office of the 1930s and shaped the country house style in Potsdam and the surrounding area at the time. In the city of Potsdam alone, there are 56 listed buildings designed by Estorff and Winkler. In contrast to most Berlin residential building architects, von Estorff was not a member of the NSDAP.
