Werner Mantz (1901–1983) was a German photographer renowned for his precise, modernist architectural photography, particularly his documentation of social housing projects in Cologne during the 1920s and early 1930s. He later relocated to Maastricht, Netherlands, where he shifted focus to portrait and commercial photography. His work is celebrated for its sharp lines, formal clarity, and cool objectivity, placing him within the tradition of New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit).
