In 1952 he became his master student and was his assistant until 1954.

For Bienefeld, the fairness of materials and craftsmanship in building were the fundamentals that he had come to know and appreciate in his collaboration with Dominikus Böhm and Emil Steffann, declared to be maxims of his own building work, appropriated and further developed. He was inspired by the architecture of Italy, where during his life he studied the ruins of antiquity, the buildings of the Renaissance ( Andrea Palladio ) and contemporary modernism ( Carlo Scarpa ). He built houses and churches. The layout and construction of Haus Nagel established his reputation as an architect who knew how to structure the bodies and spaces of his buildings in a balanced way and to integrate them into the surroundings, to create a variety of spatial impressions, to design and join building materials down to the smallest detail, lively surfaces to accomplish.

"Compared to the church, Bienefeld's houses have much more 'sacred' rooms," said Manfred Speidel about St. Willibrord Waldweiler (Hunsrück).

reception

“Heinz Bienefeld's buildings are among the most important in architectural history . Anyone who has stayed in them, used them, lived in them will come to this conclusion. ”With the superlative, Wilfried Wang introduced a retrospective , which he held in 1999 as director of the Deutsches Architekturmuseum Frankfurt / M. opened. This had acquired the estate of Bienefeld. The fact that Bienefeld, as the architect of a manageable number of private houses, churches and a kindergarten, received the Grand Prize of the Association of German Architects (BDA) posthumously in 1996, along with other awards , indicates the importance of his architecture.

The fact that he was not honored until shortly after his death, which is the first time in the history of the BDA, illustrates his role as an outsider, as a late-recognized man who, out of time, finds his own way to receive the rules of ancient architecture that are always valid for him, without striving to just copy them.

“I don't go too far when I compare Bienefeld's art of spatial formation and its variations in the development on the firm foundation of tradition with the way of thinking of Johann Sebastian Bach ... Bach had made the compositional art of the past his own and heightened and sharpened the traditional forms . Just as Bach, who was completely out of date in the last years of his life, continued and expanded the tradition and, while preserving a legacy, put his personal art at its service, so Bienefeld saw himself in the obligation to recognize antiquity in its differentiation in order to recognize it in the To continue the present with your own means. "

Critics consider Bienefeld to be one of the “great architects”, also and precisely because, as outdated, he was never haunted or spoiled by celebrity cult fashions.
