Bruno Schmitz
Bruno Schmitz (21 November 1858 - 27 April 1916) was a German architect best known for his monuments in the early 20th century. He worked closely with sculptors such as Emil Hundrieser, Nikolaus Geiger and Franz Metzner for integrated architectural and sculptural effect.His single most famous work is the massive 1913 Völkerschlachtdenkmal (Monument to the Battle of the Nations) located in Leipzig, Saxony, designed with local architect Clemens Thieme. The Monument was inaugurated in 1913 by Wilhelm II, German Emperor. Bohemian sculptor Franz Metzner designed the architectural figures, including the powerful and strangely scaled ''Masks of Fate'' in the monument's crypt. Provided by Wikipedia
