Eckhard Feddersen (born October 20, 1946 in Husum ) is a German architect, author and initiator of an integrative village .

Life

Eckhard Feddersen grew up in a family of architects. His father was Hans Jochen Feddersen (1921–1974), his grandfather was Thomas August Feddersen (1881–1947). On his mother's side, he comes from a fishmonger family. After graduating from high school in 1966 in the old-language branch of the Hermann Tast School in Husum , he began studying architecture at the Technical University of Karlsruhe in the same year . As a student representative, he was committed to the further democratization of the university. From 1969 he studied at the Technical University of Berlin and graduated there in 1971 with Hermann Fehling. From 1971, Feddersen was assistant to Werner Düttmann's chair, which had been orphaned in the meantime, and from 1973 to Manfred Throll. Until 1985, Feddersen had lectureships at the TU Berlin with the right to examinations for the lower grades. At that time, he offered the first courses for barrier-free building.

Since 1973 Feddersen has been working as a freelance architect in Berlin together with Wolfgang von Herder under the office name "Feddersen, von Herder und Partner".

Feddersen was a member of the BDA Berlin from 1978 to 2001 . He has been a member of the Werkbund Berlin since 1980 . From 1991 to 1996 he was a member of the Stadtforum Berlin . He initially worked as an advisory board for the Berlin Northeast Development Commission, then as planning director for the International Building Exhibition in Berlin planned for 1999/2000. Feddersen was a juror in more than 40 national and international competitions. For many years he was a member of the advisory and design committee for the Zehlendorf district , which had a major influence on maintaining the historical character of Zehlendorf. Feddersen is the founder of the east-west platform for architecture and urban planning. Before the fall of the Wall, it dealt with the exchange of information between Poland and Germany and after the fall of the Wall with the exchange between architects from East and West Berlin.

Together with Mario Czaja , Feddersen is the founder of the “Competence Group Age, Health and Disability”. He is the author of numerous specialist publications and also appeared as a children's book author in 2016.

Feddersen has been married since 1976 and has three children.

architecture office

In 1973 the architecture office Feddersen was founded by Herder and Partners. In 2002, following the separation of the partners, the Feddersen Architects office was re-established, which he handed over to his successors Jörg Fischer and Stefan Drees in 2014. The focus of the office was and is on social housing, but since 2002 mainly on demographic change. Eckhard Feddersen advocates greater comfort in institutional facilities (and coined the motto: “No pig wants to go into the home”). In contrast to the purely technical term “barrier-free rooms”, he relies on the expanded concept of “universal design”. Feddersen's entire planning activity includes approx. 1200 orders, with approx. 600 completed objects. Over 3000 apartments, 40 homes, 4 hospitals, 25 workshops for disabled people and 5 kindergartens were created.

Foundation of the integrative village of Rohrlack

Among Eckhard Feddersen's charitable projects, the conversion of the previously purely agricultural village of Rohrlack , a district of Temnitztal near Neuruppin in Brandenburg , into an integrative housing project stands out. In 1992, Feddersen acquired a number of houses in Rohrlack from the trust . Since 1997, an integrative project has been developed on a historic estate together with the parents' association of the curative education center in Berlin-Zehlendorf that offers living and working opportunities for people with and without disabilities. From the organic farming practiced there as well as from the social life impulses for the regional nature protection and monument preservation. The village received several recognitions and prizes, including in 2008 the 2nd prize in the Europe-wide competition "Future through social innovation".
