Hermann Grub (born August 8, 1939 near Ulm ) is a German architect. He studied architecture with Herbert Hirche at the Stuttgart Art Academy .

Live and work

After completing his studies, he worked for Justus Dahinden's architecture office in Zurich for six years . Since 1969 Grub has had his own office for architecture and urban planning in Munich. He develops concepts and strategies to solve urban problems. Public installations are an important tool in public relations.

In 1974 he received the research assignment of the Free State of Bavaria “City recreation area” and the development of an inner-city green and open space concept with a focus on the potential of urban backyards and public spaces. In 1977 Grub represented the Federal Republic of Germany in the field of architecture at Europalia in Brussels. The project “Urban Renewal of Nuremberg-Gostenhof”, which was carried out in 1979 and which was subsequently awarded the gold medal of the Federal Building Ministry, attracted international attention. For this, Hermann Grub received the Jürgen Ponto Foundation's architecture prize.

Hermann Grub has lived in Munich since 1969 and has been working with his wife Petra Lejeune since 1978 . The two have been married since 1982 and have three children together. In 2010 they went public in Munich with the proposal to relocate the Mittlerer Ring in the area of ​​the English Garden in a tunnel and thus enable the reunification of the garden monument. In July 2017, the City Council of the City of Munich unanimously decided to implement the project. In gratitude for their commitment and in recognition of their outstanding services to the reunification of the park, Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter awarded the two architects with the gold medal "Munich shines - the friends of Munich" on April 11, 2018. On November 30, 2017, the couple was honored with the “Schwabing Smile” award by the Schwabing-Freimann district committee.
