Biography
Helmut Striffler was a German architect and university educator, known primarily for his sacred buildings from the 1950s and 1960s (e.g., the Church of Reconciliation on the site of the former concentration camp Dachau from the years 1964-67). His original dream was to design airplanes. In 1949, he completed an internship in the engineering department of BASF. From 1950 to 1955, he studied architecture at the University of Karlsruhe, where his teachers included Otto E. Schweizer, Rudolf Büchner, and Egon Eiermann, for whom he also worked as a site manager. In 1956, he opened his own architectural office in Mannheim (he briefly had branches in Bochum and Dresden as well). From 1969 to 1974, he served as a professor at the Technical University of Hanover and subsequently until his retirement in 1992 as a professor at TU Darmstadt. In 1988, he took on the presidency of the Werkbund in Baden-Württemberg. In 2000, he founded the office Striffler+Striffler Architekten in Mannheim. In 2008, he was awarded an honorary doctorate at BTU Cottbus for his lifetime work and scientific achievements in research and teaching.
