Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff

Friedrich Wilhelm Freiherr von Erdmannsdorff (18 May 1736 – 9 March 1800) was a German architect and architectural theoretician, and one of the most significant representatives of early German Neoclassicism during the Age of Enlightenment.

His work included Wörlitz Palace in the present-day Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm, one of the earliest Palladian buildings on the European continent.

His most well-known student was Friedrich Gilly, the teacher of Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
