Hans Blumenfeld, OC (October 18, 1892 – January 30, 1988) was a German-Canadian architect and city planner.[1]
Blumenfeld was born in Osnabruck, Germany in 1892 and grew up in Hamburg. He did not follow in his family's footsteps into the banking industry, instead opting to pursue a career in architecture. He started out as a carpenter's apprentice. In 1914 he joined the German army during World War I. Following the war, he continued his studies and finished his master's degree.[2]
