Hermann Gustav Louis Ende was a German architect noted for his work in Germany, Japan and elsewhere.
Ende was born in Landsberg an der Warthe, Prussia . In 1836 he moved with family to Berlin, where, after the completion of the Kllnisches Gymnasium in 1852, he studied architecture at the Bauakademie, a Berlin architectural school housed in what is considered one of the forerunners of modern architecture due to its theretofore uncommon use of red brick and a relatively streamlined faade. His studies were interrupted for a year by military service, and by another year spent travelling abroad with his friend Wilhelm Bckmann. In 1860, he established the architectural firm, Bckmann and Ende, which came to be considered one of the leading design studios in Berlin.
