Gerd Wiegand (* 1922 in Cottbus ; † 1994 in Munich ) was a German architect .

Gerd Wiegand studied architecture at the Technical University of Munich from 1947 after the Second World War . During his studies he went on an educational trip to the USA . He was responsible for numerous sports and traffic structures, especially in Bavaria. The Grottenau multi-storey car park he built on Augsburg's Ernst-Reuter-Platz was not only the first multi-storey car park in southern Germany, but also impressed the critics with its strictly horizontal orientation, the open facade and the bright colors. According to Wiegand, the car park, built according to the D'Humy system , should act as a "car port". The Optimol petrol station in Würzburg, which has now been demolished, with its slender, sweeping tapping point roof was also a commitment to the modern, curved architecture of the 1950s.

In the 1980s Wiegand founded an architecture office with Roland Neef, who specializes in parking garage architecture . Wiegand was married to the actress Frauke Sinjen ( Kriminaltango , Tatort , Meister Eder and his Pumuckl ). He died in Munich in 1994.
