Hans Wilhelm Schrøder (24 June 1810 – 14 April 1888) was a Danish architect. Schrøder attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1837-39 before he graduated with a degree in architecture. He was privately tutored by Theophilus Hansen and worked for Jørgen Hansen Koch and Frederik Ferdinand Friis.[1][2]

Schrøder established himself in Aarhus as a carpenter and architect on 23 March 1844 and went into partnership with a design school. He was the first architect with an academic degree to establish himself in the city and in the following decades he introduced Neoclassical architecture across the city with many buildings carrying his signature: the 3-parted facade with a retracted middle and two side wings with triple windows.[3]

In 1860 he assumed the position of temporary royal building inspector for Jutland and Fuenen during the illness of Ferdinand Thielemann. Schrøder's tenure notably saw him solve a complicated problem in the Dominican Priory in Viborg where a vault in the nave was at risk of collapse. In 1870 the Schrøder family relocated to Copenhagen.[3][4]
