Johann Georg Poppe (12 September 1837 – 18 August 1915), often called Johannes Poppe by English-language writers, was a prominent architect in Bremen during the German Gründerzeit and an influential interior designer of ocean liners for the Norddeutscher Lloyd. He worked in an eclectic mixture of historical revival styles sometimes called "Bremen Baroque".[1]
