Life

Dietmar Grötzebach was the son of the architect Paul Grötzebach and his wife Ingeborg, geb. Hilger. From 1939 to 1943 the family lived in Wolfenbüttel , where Grötzebach started school in 1943, and from 1943 in Hamburg , where he attended the primary school in Hamburg-Fühlsbüttel , from Easter 1947 the scientific high school in the Alstertal and took the high school diploma in spring 1955. After a six-month construction internship, he began studying architecture at the Technical University of Braunschweig , switched to the Technical University of Berlin after completing his intermediate diploma in 1957 and received his diploma in 1961 from Bernhard Hermkes at the Chair of Design, Construction and Industrial Construction. From 1962 to 1965 he worked as a freelancer for the architect Bodo Fleischer and was a research assistant at the chair of Prof. Bernhard Hermkes, who received his doctorate in 1965 on the subject of the change in criteria for evaluating the relationship between construction and form over the past 100 years .

From 1963 to 1985 Grötzebach ran an architecture office in West Berlin in partnership with Günter Plessow, from 1964 to 1972 with Günter Plessow (G + P) and Gerd Neumann (NGP), from 1974 to 1985 with Günter Plessow and Reinhold Ehlers (GPE). Other partners from 1972 to 1977 were Jürgen Sawade , Dieter Frowein and, from 1977, the sculptor Günter Ohlwein. Since 1968 a member of the board of the Association of German Architects (BDA) Berlin, Grötzebach was its chairman from 1978 to 1985.

From 1972 to 1985 Dietmar Grötzebach taught design and building construction as a professor in Faculty 8 at the Technical University of Berlin. In 1977 he wrote an expert opinion on the preparation of the IBA (International Building Exhibition Berlin) 1984/87 on behalf of the Berlin Senate and, as an architect of late modernism ( brutalism ), paved the way for critical reconstruction ( urban repair ). According to Thilo Hilpert , Grötzebach, who was friends with Josef Paul Kleihues and who developed concepts for securing historic perimeter block developments in West Berlin as early as 1973, was involved in the concept of building block 270 (1978) built by Kleihues in Berlin-Wedding, the first building block of the post-war period, involved and the question arises whether the return to block construction was "a revision in the formal language of modernity or an expansion of its syntax."
