biography
After studying architecture, Schröck worked in Herbert Anker's office in Bremen from 1950 . Here he won the competition for a parking garage. In 1951/52 he planned the Ilsabeenstift in Bremen-St-Magnus with Carl Rotermund and the parish hall of St. Stephani in Bremen with Anker . In 1953 he won a competition for the Bremen Youth Hostel .
In 1954 he founded an architecture office in Bremen. The first traffic pavilion from 1954 on Bremen's Bahnhofsplatz came from his office. In the competition for the Bremen city hall around 1960 he won second prize. In 1968 the company expanded to the Schröck group of architects with long-time employee Fritz Busse as a partner. In 1966, together with Horst Rosengart, the two founded the architectural office for tropical construction , which planned buildings in Togo and Ghana. In the 1960s / 70s his office was united in an office community with Hans Budde , Hermann Brede and Peter Ahlers on Breitenweg in Bremen. After ten years of cooperation, Rosengart also became a partner in 1972. Fritz Busse, Heinrich Meyerdierks, Horst Rosengart, Rainer Schürmann and Ulf Sommer have been running the office in partnership since Schröck's death.
Schröck died early, at the age of 49, but he has created a characteristic and complex work in his freelance work. He was an experimental and resourceful architect. His constructive experiments with rope net roofs , which he planned or carried out together with Frei Otto, are remarkable .
Schröck's focus was on church construction with ten church centers in and around Bremen, three of them in Bremen-Huchting . His construction activity in West Africa from the mid-1960s onwards also brought about interesting aspects. In addition, he planned and built residential buildings, a bank and the coffee house on the Emmasee in and around Bremen . In 1957 he was the second prize winner together with Frei Otto and Hans Budde in the competition of the city hall Bremen with a rope net construction. His unrealized designs for a huge lightweight hall from 1961, a rope net construction over Neustädter Hafen and a rope roof covering Sögestraße are also known .
