Life

Career

Hackelsberger was born in Freiburg / Breisgau in 1931. The parents are Dr. iur. Dr. phil. Albert Hackelsberger MdR († imprisoned September 1940) and Helene Hackelsberger, née van Eyck.

Self-employed as a freelance architect since 1960, areas of activity: industrial construction, social housing for children, the elderly and the disabled, "new building in old surroundings", restoration of historical buildings.

He lived in Munich. In numerous book publications and lectures, he dealt critically with all the phenomena of building. For almost three decades he wrote architectural reviews for the Süddeutsche Zeitung , the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and Die Welt am Sonntag as well as articles on questions of building and building policy in various specialist journals. In 1992 he became honorary professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts .

He has dealt intensively with the architecture of functional and military buildings, such as the Atlantic Wall , the Fortezza Fortress , airport, bridges and underground stations in Munich, for example, and has given the building material concrete and its fascination and possible uses a higher level of attention own positioning. Hackelsberger was an outspoken critic of the state's preservation of monuments. He denied the quality of many buildings from the 1950s as “postponed modernity”.

His description of the architecture of Detlef Schreiber , an heir of Mies van der Rohe , published in 2006, also deals with many of Hackelsberger's preferred subjects. A modern functional and residential building occupied him, not building brick by brick, but the possibility of standardized, modular and prefabricated construction and the associated engineering basics as well as the intensive examination of his hometown Munich , its urban development and city silhouette.
