Heinrich Raderschall

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Raderschall (born March 18, 1916 in Oberpleis ; † 2010 ) was a German garden and landscape architect . In the 1950s to 1970s he played a key role in the green design of the city of Bonn , the seat of his office. Raderschall gained national fame through participation in the International Garden Exhibition in Hamburg in 1963 and the World Exhibition in 1967 in Montréal .

Live and act

From 1926 Raderschall attended St. Michael-Gymnasium in Bad Münstereifel . From 1932 to 1934 he completed an apprenticeship as a gardener and then worked as a gardener's assistant in various tree nurseries . In 1941 Raderschall began studying to be a graduate engineer at the teaching and research institute (LuFA) for horticulture in Berlin-Dahlem , after which he completed part-time studies in botany , water biology and geology at the University of Münster until 1945 . In 1945/46 Raderschall was a student in Hamburg . In 1946 he began studying architecture in this city, which he completed in 1948 as an engineer (grad.) ("Graduate engineer"). Raderschall was a founding member of the re-establishment of the Association of German Garden Architects on June 19, 1948.

On May 1, 1948, Raderschall was employed by the Bonn city ​​council as head of the design department at the garden and town planning office. In this position he was entrusted with the repair of the old customs and the redesign of the adjoining city ​​garden . On July 1, 1951, Raderschall settled in Bonn as a "freelance garden and landscape architect". Initially, he was particularly involved in projects for public clients, including the design of green spaces for new housing developments. This included the Reutersiedlung (1949–1952) in Bonn, for whose outdoor facilities the architect Max Taut Raderschall offered a collaboration. He entered into a long-term commitment with the Rheinische Heimstätte , for which he took over the planning and construction management of green areas in the British occupation buildings for officers and NCOs. In 1954, Raderschall planned a garden exhibition in Milan for the Bonn-based Central Horticultural Association for the first time . Numerous other exhibition participations followed, including at the Federal Horticultural Show in 1957 , at which the Raderschall office was commissioned to plan the opening and a teaching show .

In 1958/59 Raderschall and his architecture office , which had previously been based in cramped rooms, built their own residential and studio building on the edge of the parliamentary and government district based on plans by the architect Ernst van Dorp ( Langenbachstrasse 19 ). The office gained national recognition at the latest through its participation in the 1963 International Garden Exhibition in Hamburg , where it won second prize together with the planners Plomin and Schulze. A long-term collaboration between Raderschall and the architect Frei Otto began at the exhibition . At Expo 67 , at the request of the then Federal President Heinrich Lübke , Raderschall planned the outdoor facilities for the German pavilion designed by Otto in collaboration with Rolf Gutbrod , which received an international architecture award.

In 1968 Raderschall offered his previous employees Carl Möhrer and Friedrich-Wilhelm Peters a three-year, equal partnership on trial, which was contractually agreed in 1971 under the name "RMP landscape architects". At the time, the office employed around 15 people, including ten qualified engineers. In the following time, numerous successful participation in architecture competitions fell , including 1972 for the Federal Garden Show 1979 in Bonn and for the spa garden in Bad Münstereifel (inauguration 1976). In 1981, Raderschall stopped working as the design manager for the office, but remained an equal partner. After 1990 he worked in an advisory capacity on the reorganization of urban green planning in Hoyerswerda , Saxony , in which he also included his office. In 1996 Raderschall resigned from this for good, but continued to advise him.

Outside of his professional work, Raderschall devoted himself to the design of a natural landscape garden at the “Blue Lake” near Thomasberg , a former basalt quarry that he had acquired in 1960.
