Wolfgang Oehme Specializes in Landscape Design
Mr. Oehme’s completion of coursework in landscape architecture at the University of Berlin in 1954 has supported him in the conquest of his professional goals.

His work is not limited to domestic locations; having relocated to the United States in 1957 from his home in Chemnitz, Germany, Mr. Oehme has completed projects in his native city, and has also fulfilled design ventures in Madgeburg. Prior to his co-founding of Oehme, van Sweden & Associates in 1977 with James van Sweden, he designed golf courses, playgrounds and parks for the Baltimore County Department of Recreation and Parks until 1965.
