Günter Bandmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Günter Bandmann (born September 10, 1917 in Duisburg , † February 24, 1975 in Bonn ) was a German art historian who dealt in particular with architectural history and architectural iconology.

Life

After attending school, Bandmann graduated from the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Cologne and completed his doctorate there in 1942 at the chair of Hans Kauffmann as a doctor of philosophy with a dissertation on the subject of The Werden Abbey Church (1256-1275): Study on the outcome of Hohenstaufen architecture from.

In 1949, Bandmann completed his habilitation with a thesis on medieval architecture as a bearer of meaning . Building on Richard Krautheimer's work , he developed an understanding of the content-related implications of architecture in this and in his subsequent publications on architectural iconology. In 1955 he was appointed associate professor for the history of architecture and art at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn . In 1965 he accepted a professorship as successor to Hubert Schrade at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen and taught there until 1970. During this time he was also director of the Art History Institute of the University of Tübingen. He then returned as a professor at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and taught there until his death. A planned work on the Romanesque double chapel , which mostly functions as the ruling church, remained unfinished.
