Erich Pattis (* 1902 in Tiers ; † 1996 ) was a Tyrolean architect.
Pattis was born in 1902 as the son of the postal manager of Tiers.

After completing his studies at the academy, he found a job in the municipal building department of Mülheim an der Ruhr .
The global economic crisis brought construction activity to a virtual standstill, which is why Pattis returned closer to home and tried his luck first in Innsbruck . After only moderate success, he returned to Bolzano .
During the war years of the Second World War , Pattis first moved to Innsbruck and later to Munich. He was drafted into the military and came to Russia, the Caucasus and the Crimea. In the final phase of the war he came to Bolzano , where the city administration entrusted him with urban planning tasks.
Pattis was also active as a graphic artist and draftsman. He mainly drew objects of Romanesque architecture and sculpture. For years he worked on his illustrated book Christ Dominator , a collection of images of Romanesque crucifixes.
Pattis was co-founder and president of the South Tyrolean Artists Association for 20 years .
In 1967 he was awarded the Walther von der Vogelweide Prize .
