Bernd Grönwald

Activities (overview)

In the second half of the 1980s, Bernd Grönwald was considered the leading architectural scientist in the GDR in the field of theory and history as well as socialist urban planning. He gained an international reputation as a scientist and specialist, university lecturer and vice-president and director of the Institute for Urban Development and Architecture of the GDR Building Academy . He was partly responsible for theoretical and practical work on the history of the Bauhaus as well as on the further development of architecture and urban planning in the GDR, pursued academic work on Marxist-Leninist cultural and art studies and on the development of architecture and the environment in developed socialist society. He worked in the Association of Architects of the GDR , as a member of the Social Council of the University of Architecture and Building Weimar (HAB), as a member of the Scientific Council of the Building Academy of the GDR, as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for Civil Engineering / Architecture at the Ministry of Higher Education and technical schools of the GDR and as chairman of the editorial board of the magazine "Architektur der DDR" (from January 12, 1987). With Christian Schädlich he initiated the International Bauhaus Colloquia in Weimar and also the “ Hannes Meyer Design Seminar” (1982–1986, leading from 1983; projects with architects from the Finnish Association of Architects SAFA), the “1. Ferdinand Kramer seminar for designers and architects ”and the international seminar“ Bio strategies for the building industry ”(from 1986). The fields of work and activity as a scientist and architect include contributions to

  • Development of spatial, wide-span constructions for lightweight metal construction (1960s)
  • Theory and Practice of Environmental Design (1970s)
  • Basic work on Marxist-Leninist architectural theory (1970s)
  • History of modern architecture, in particular the Bauhaus in connection with the reopening of the Bauhaus Dessau (1970 / 1980s)

as well as to

  • Aspects of reproduction in socialist urban development (from 1986).

Life

Childhood and youth

Bernd Grönwald (1959)

Bernd Grönwald was the only son of the engraver and former social democratic worker athlete Ernst Grönwald and the clerk Helga Grönwald, nee. Girl. The family made it possible for him to attend a folk music school and the Humboldt High School in Leipzig (primary school graduation in 1956, average 1.08) up to graduation in 1960 (very good). At the same time he was active in competitive sports as a track and field athlete. Parents and school encouraged active social work at an early stage, which was reflected, for example, in the delegation to the pioneering republic of Wilhelm Pieck in 1954. It played an important role in further development in connection with vocational training. In the years 1960–1962 B. Grönwald did a year and a half military service in a motorized rifle regiment of the then still voluntary NVA on a T-34 and joined the SED in 1961 after a corresponding candidacy . He retired from military service as a private, in 1971 he was appointed first lieutenant in the reserve.

Education

After a brief activity as an unskilled worker in the construction practice at VEB Bau-Union Leipzig / Eilenburg, he began studying architecture at the Weimar University of Architecture and Building (HAB) in September 1962. His marriage to his wife Marlis in the same year resulted in close contact with the Mehler-Rülicke family. An intensive exchange of ideas developed with Käthe Rülicke in the intellectual environment of the Berliner Ensemble , which shaped the young students politically and analytically and critically. During his studies he worked as an assistant at the chairs of interior design ( Horst Michel ) and statics and strength theory (Siegried Speer) and was funded in 1965 by a Wilhelm Pieck scholarship . In the second academic year of 1963, a survey internship on building stock in Quedlinburg that was in danger of being demolished lastingly shaped Grönwald's basic understanding of monument conservation. After specialization, he graduated in 1967 in the field of production buildings. As early as the third year of his studies, B. Grönwald took on an independent teaching position as an assistant, leading seminars in technical mechanics, statics and strength theory. After completing his studies, with this experience, he was employed as a scientific assistant in the department of building construction and support systems, which was newly formed after the university reform at the time. Initially, he was given practical design and project planning tasks such as for a social building of the VEB Büromaschinenwerk Sömmerda and for the construction of a test and laboratory building (project central laboratory of the HAB Weimar) and for the use of spatial bar structures in the design of buildings in agriculture and industry. Between 1968 and 1971 he also worked on four engineering-theoretical research assignments, which were awarded to him with two assignments by the Building Academy of the GDR / Institute for Industrial Construction and also by the MLK Leipzig and the VEB Lapro-Potsdam. Some of the results were published and, with dealing with the problems of lightweight metal construction and its application, led directly to practical implementation as well as basic work in the implementation of the PhD A.

promotion

The dissertation with doctorate to Dr.-Ing. for the application of spatially supporting lightweight metal structures in the scientific field of "production construction", developed in collective work with Dagmar Seyfarth (title: "The application of selected systems of lightweight metal construction for the building categories of agriculture and food industry") ended in 1971. The position, which had meanwhile been run as a senior assistant, was thus canceled. This was followed by intensive teaching activities with lectures and seminars in the subjects of load-bearing systems, statics and strength theory as well as building construction and architectural theory in the fields of architecture and urban planning. As head of a working group, B. Grönwald pushed extensive conceptual work on the re-profiling of architecture and town planning training at the Weimar HAB, which could also have an impact on university pedagogical development in the early 1970s. This resulted, among other things, in the formation of the architecture and regional planning and urban development sections with corresponding curricula. In 1976 he was accepted into the Association of Architects of the GDR (BdA), between 1974 and 1977, as part of an unscheduled aspiration, Bernd Grönwald carried out a sociological study at the Institute for Cultural and Art Studies at the Academy for Social Sciences in Berlin and obtained his doctorate in 1977. sc. phil. In terms of content, this research concentrated on the work process in relation to the development of cultural needs in the working class as well as the requirements for the design of the work environment and was developed in close cooperation with Finnish, Swedish and Soviet colleagues. Practically or empirically, this work was combined with previous studies in the planning for the textile combine Leinefelde and the redesign of the production and the factory of the VEB Automobilwerke Zwickau . Both main areas of work shaped the scientific development of Grönwald until 1979 and resulted in numerous publications at home and abroad, planning principles and scientific follow-up work. However, due to changes in the state plan, the plans in Zwickau were not implemented, which he viewed as a fatally wrong decision.

By retiring in the field of theory and history in architecture at the HAB in 1971, the opportunity arose to receive a teaching position for architectural theory corresponding to Grönwald's fields of interest. At the same time as this teaching post, he was offered the elective function of secretary of the party organization of the SED at the HAB in 1971, which he held until 1978. He gave up this activity in 1978 on his own initiative and turned down further offers for full-time positions in the period that followed, in order to devote himself specifically to professional work and above all to architectural training. B. Grönwald rebuilt the teaching area, which he took over in 1971, over a decade and, after self-didactic familiarization with the history of the Bauhaus and modernism, initiated a research project on the history of the Bauhaus in 1973, in which he played a key role.

With the establishment of a research group in Weimar, it was possible to establish contacts with many former Bauhaus members. Intensive correspondence and lasting friendships developed with Max Bill , Peter Keler , Ferdinand Kramer , Georg Muche , Richard Paulick , Margaretha Reichardt , Konrad Püschel and many others. At the same time, contributions to social science research for the planning and implementation of measures to develop the socialist work culture in industry were put into practice.

Bauhaus / Weimar and Dessau

After the reconstruction of the model house Am Horn built by the Bauhaus in 1923 , the development of the conservation objectives for handling the building and the establishment of a small Bauhaus exhibition on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the opening of the 1st Bauhaus exhibition (1973, redesign 1986) after intensive public relations work, including numerous lectures on the progressive legacy of the Bauhaus (Urania), in 1976 the then government and political leadership of the GDR finally succeeded with a study, with a resolution of the secretariat of the Central Committee of the SED from 7 April 1976 and a subsequent decision by the GDR Council of Ministers to repeal the fundamentally wrong decisions condemning the Bauhaus from the 1950s. As a result, international Bauhaus colloquia were held in Weimar and the Bauhaus Dessau was initially reconstructed (1976) and reopened in 1986. B. Grönwald was a permanent member of the Bauhaus Research working group and was significantly involved in the very contradictory process of reviving the Bauhaus Dessau and the acceptance of the Bauhaus in the GDR. In terms of monument preservation, as well as in historical research and in the conceptual work on the appropriation of the Bauhaus heritage for the present and the future, he brought a lot of his own strength and performance. Appointed professor for architectural theory at the Weimar HAB in 1979, B. Grönwald became the minister for building, building and construction after a joint conception on the future use of the Bauhaus Dessau was presented after a severe hindrance to the reopening of the Bauhaus in Dessau at the end of the 1970s Technical education and culture, the head of the office for industrial design (AiF) and the chairman of the council of the Halle district of December 3, 1980 from 1981 onwards and commissioned by the building academy and the then Ministry for higher education and technical education, the new formation to prepare a new institution "Bauhaus Dessau" as a "center for design" with working groups for urban development and architecture, product and environmental design, visual arts, cultural and public relations work as well as scientific documentation and collections. This task, which bundled the conceptual work on the development of the scientific and productive management areas of the Bauhaus Dessau in a fee contract, was carried out at the same time as the director of the architecture section at the HAB Weimar (1980–1986). It offered him a wide range of opportunities to combine teaching, advanced training and research and to implement it - it is noteworthy that diploma students supervised by him have won prizes in the UIA competition of international architecture schools. As part of a design competition for the Schiller Museum in Weimar in 1981, he was able to commit all scientific areas of the architecture section of the HAB to participate and thus pave the way for a comparison of the most varied of approaches and an intensive conceptual and content-related discussion about one of the few new museum buildings in the GDR. However, up to the completion of construction in 1988, concepts and investments were interwoven in a complex manner.

Bauakademie / Berlin

Bernd Grönwald and Georg Muche in 1983 in Haus Am Horn

In addition to these individual initiatives, B. Grönwald led projects and basic research topics that increasingly dealt with the interrelationship between the environment, people and architecture and created the scientific basis for a call to the Bauakademie on February 1 and May 1, 1986 to follow the GDR to Berlin. In Berlin, an intensive discussion about these topics resulted in close contact with the former director of the Institute for Urban Development and Architecture and his predecessor Hermann Henselmann , who was supported by the ongoing exchange with Käthe Rülicke . The full professorship for architectural theory in Weimar was converted into an honorary professorship for architectural theory at the HAB. Until then, the university activities offered many opportunities to hold guest lectures abroad and to establish and expand partner relationships with universities abroad, which led to contracts between the HAB and them. This particularly affected universities in the Soviet Union, Vietnam (1982), Cuba (1983), Italy, France and Finland and combined with invitations to guest lectures and exhibition openings as well as participation in the design of various exhibitions in the Federal Republic and West Berlin. B. Grönwald represented the GDR at international congresses (Moscow 1972, 1974 and 1976, IKAS Helsingor 1984, UIA, Cairo 1985, Brighton 1987). This role came to him in the spring of 1989 in the successful legal dispute in Switzerland over the acquisition of the estate of Hannes Meyer, which was managed by Lena Meyer-Bergner, for the Bauhaus Dessau and the ETH Zurich . The activity as director of the Institute for Urban Development and Architecture and Vice-President of the Building Academy of the GDR focused primarily on a reorientation of the scientific work on urban and regional research as well as the theoretical and practical work to help the cities and regions in the GDR on a fundamental process of change the reproduction of the building fabric and urban planning.

The necessity of this change process was foreseeable on the basis of an elaborated, scientifically founded foresight and was highlighted by him in a study in 1986. At the same time, he endeavored to develop IT applications for urban and architectural planning by bypassing the existing embargo constraints on the GDR for planners and the next generation at the building academy. With the leadership of the 1st and 2nd Berlin design seminars he initiated in 1987 and 1988 at the Bauhaus Dessau for the design of Friedrichstrasse in Berlin-Mitte and construction in the Prenzlauer Berg district , immediate urban development and monument conservation focal points were dealt with. The research results resulting from this activity and many years of preoccupation with the architectural history of the GDR showed that the development process of the decay of the cities in the GDR, the deformation in the development of the settlement structure and the lack of innovation in architectural design were predictable for a long time, but the scientific foresight and urban planning were not societal Found more breeding ground.

B. Grönwald tried to bring this point of view, his own relationship and his responsibility to this development process to bear in the symposium he prepared and chaired on January 17th, 1990 in Berlin. Before that, on October 5, 1989, the 57th plenary meeting of the Building Academy of the GDR on urban planning and architecture, which he was responsible for, had been canceled, which is why he told those responsible that he was no longer willing to continue his work under the given political circumstances. The social events and the possibilities of continuing work in the sense of the above-mentioned symposium made this decision irrelevant. The task now was to expand the contacts and fields of cooperation with scientific institutions and academic personalities in Germany under changed, supposedly lighter circumstances , for which the Bauhaus Dessau location was particularly suitable. Founded in 1986 and since then by B. Grönwald together with Prof. Dr. Berthold Burckhardt / TU Braunschweig led seminar “Biostrategies for Building” could be intensified. In addition, after the fields of experience on urban planning and urban development, primarily in work on the urban renewal process in Dresden and the city of Eisleben, as well as the establishment and management of a project, it was possible to gain concrete experience of urban planning and urban development at the Institute for Urban Development and Architecture at the Bauakademie in the planning and research groups led by Grönwald An interdisciplinary scientific planning group for the urban planning of Leipzig resulted in encouraging the German Association of Cities , which has been operating across Germany since June 13, 1990, to hold a conference in Dessau. In view of the urgent need for redevelopment, he was initially able to propose at least five East German cities with striking historic city centers as pilot projects and “model cities for urban redevelopment” for the urban monument protection program from 1991 (Stralsund, Quedlinburg, Görlitz, Leipzig, Meißen and Weimar in the urban monument protection program for the newcomers Countries). The necessary and successful approach was quickly expanded (until 2005 the funding program ultimately comprised 162 cities in the former GDR).

Bernd Grönwald in 1989 in front of the Am Horn house in Weimar

In the medium term, the reunification of the Association of German Architects (BDA) was on the way, in the run-up to which the so-called Bauhaus Conference Dessau was organized on June 24, 1990. It brought the Dessau declaration of the BDA "On the way to a democratic building culture" on the way. Despite these activities and advisory work for the Modrow government , the continuation of the core work for B. Grönwald was interrupted due to a condition to evaluate and dissolve the building academy and the announced dismissal on December 31, 1990. Bernd Grönwald rejected these measures and after his retirement and a spa stay in Bad Elster, in view of the loss of the values ​​for which he had argued in his professional career and lack of understanding of his broad range of activities as a science manager at Haus Am Horn , chose den Suicide. He wanted the turnaround in the GDR and helped to prepare it. How it actually happened in the end he couldn't bear.

family

Bernd Grönwald lived with his family at Am Horn 61 in Weimar until his death. He had a work residence at Schönhauser Allee 115B in Berlin. Since 1962 he was with Marlis Grönwald , geb. Mehler married. The marriage has three sons, Jens, Ingo and Holger Grönwald .
