history

In 1933, after working for Ernő Goldfinger in Paris and Norman Bel Geddes in New York City and after completing a legal clerkship in the state building administration , Helmut Hentrich founded his own office in Düsseldorf, a forerunner of today's company HPP. Two years later, Hentrich merged with Hans Heuser to form the Hentrich & Heuser architectural association . Your office took part in major competitions in the German Empire. In 1944 it was commissioned by the Task Force for the Reconstruction of Bomb-Destroyed Cities to plan the reconstruction of Krefeld. After the Second World War , it continued its successful work as a well-established office, also thanks to good contacts to Friedrich Tamms and Hanns Dustmann , who were planning the rebuilding of Düsseldorf. In Düsseldorf architects dispute these relationships were critically.

When Heuser died in 1953, Helmut Hentrich continued the working group with Hubert Petschnigg . 1969 new partners were added. From now on the office was called HPP - Hentrich-Petschnigg & Partner .

Internationalization began in 1968 and HPP designed the office location for the Standard Bank Center in South Africa, the city's first high-rise. This was followed by other international projects, for example for company locations in Germany, China and Turkey. After the death of Hubert Petschnigg in 1997 and after the death of company founder Helmut Hentrich in 2001, the overall management of the architecture office was reorganized.

Today HPP consists of three companies and is represented nationally and internationally with twelve office locations and 450 employees. The overall management of the HPP Group is the responsibility of the managing partners Joachim H. Faust, Gerhard G. Feldmeyer and Volker Weuthen. In 2017, HPP Hentrich-Petschnigg & Partner GmbH + Co. KG changed its name to HPP Architekten GmbH.
