Otto Voelckers (also spelled Otto Völckers), born on November 9, 1888 in Berlin, Germany, was a German architect, artist and technical author.

Voelckers was initially an active art director in the 1920s. However, at the end of this decade he became famous in Germany for his work with the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. Until 1933 Voelckers was the editor of the magazine 'Stein Holz Eisen' (Rock, Wood, Ice).

After the end of World War II he became very engaged with the reconstruction of Munich and was one of the few architects that would link his ideas to the Neues Bauen movement, a radical new form proposed for the old city. Voelckers's reconstruction plan envisioned closed buildings composed of large blocks which were in cooperative ownership, which would have glassed-covered passages and retail areas to encourage use as social centers. Even in the planned reconstruction of the Goethe House, Voelckers pleaded for a full redesign, but was not able to successfully promote his idea over the faithful reconstruction proposed by Theo Kellner.

Voelckers was also known for his design of Notstands-Kleinstwohnungen, that was commissioned by the Münchener Wiederaufbau-Referat (Munich Reconstruction Referendum) of 1945-1946. These small apartments were allowed by the zoning commission to have a maximum space of 4 square meters (43 square feet) per person. With this restraint, Voelckers attempted to extract the most usability, livability and beauty from the space.

From 1950 until his death, he was the associate editor of the architectural magazine Glasforum. Voelckers was also member of the Deutscher Werkbund (German Association of Craftsmen).

Otto Voelckers died on December 6, 1957 in Munich, Germany.
