Aachen school
The teaching of the architecture faculty of the RWTH Aachen University is called the Aachen School , which after 1926, with the appointment of René von Schöfer to the chair for form theory, building form theory, urban planning and building design, abandoned the general historical building style as a design basis. It deals with the challenges of landscape-bound, local building traditions and conveys them as planning and building in the existing structure in the sense of a moderate, history-conscious modernity. In addition to building construction and urban planning, the essential fundamentals and characteristics of architecture teaching at the Aachen School are building research (inventory and building survey), building history and work theory.
In addition to René von Schöfer, Otto Gruber , Hans Mehrtens , Hans Schwippert , Anton Wendling , Rudolf Steinbach , Erich Kühn , Willy Weyres , Ingeborg Schild , Elmar Hillebrand , Gottfried Böhm , Jan Pieper and Michael Jansen, major representatives of the Aachen School .
