Herman Schnetzky

Herman Paul Schnetzky (1849 – 1916) was a German American architect who is known for his works in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Schnetzky was active designing buildings in the late 19th century.

Career In 1867 Schnetzky migrated to the United States. In 1869 he worked in the draft department of Milwaukee architect George Mygatt. He formed a partnership with Henry C. Koch which lasted until 1887. When Schnetzky left Koch's office to start his own architectural firm, Eugene R. Liebert followed to work as Schnetzky's foreman. In 1891 Liebert became a partner with Schnetzky, and together they designed many buildings in Milwaukee. Their partnership lasted until 1897, when Liebert left to form his own architectural office.
