Horst Eduard Linde (born April 6, 1912 in Heidelberg ; † September 10, 2016 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a German architect , urban planner and university professor .

Life

Horst Linde was the son of the architect and monument conservator Otto Linde . His maternal grandparents were the manufacturer Eduard Hager (1848–1901) and Julie nee Wenker (1854–1890).

Linde studied at the Technical University of Karlsruhe until 1936 as a student of Otto Ernst Schweizer . He first worked in Emmendingen and Baden-Baden , in 1939 he worked as a government master builder ( assessor ) and municipal building officer in Lahr . After the war he returned from captivity in 1946 and in 1947 founded the construction office for the largely destroyed University of Freiburg . There he worked with Auguste Perret , who was delegated by the French occupation forces . In 1948 Linde won the architecture competition for the reconstruction of Kaiserstraße and the city center in Karlsruhe , as well as in 1953 for the reconstruction of the city church there . From 1951 Linde was head of the state building administration of the state of Baden in Freiburg im Breisgau , from 1957 head of the building construction department in the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Finance . Since 1955 he was a member of the Akademie der Künste (or at first the Academy of the Arts in Berlin (West)). In 1960 he became a professor for urban planning at the Technical University of Stuttgart and in 1961 switched to the newly founded chair for university planning . Before leaving the state building administration in 1971 or his retirement in 1976/77, he built many public buildings, including hospitals, schools, administrative buildings, settlements and - in parallel to public employment - as a freelance architect and churches.

In 1953 Linde was on the jury of the competition for the Mannheim National Theater and was a supporter of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's design ; then he took part in the so-called Bauhaus dispute. Although you can feel Mies' influence in Linde's architecture (e.g. in the Stuttgart state parliament building), his style is partly based on brutalism . In the reconstructed buildings, Linde has carefully combined the legacy of past centuries with the vision of modernity . He used modern materials in a sculptural and sometimes even picturesque way (e.g. spiral staircase ), and in the interior design he cooperated with artists and craftsmen. As a representative of post-war modernism , he was not dogmatic about the rules of thumb of modernity. In his words from 2012, his architecture was always intended to be functional, which corresponded to the zeitgeist of the time; He rejects the architect's self-perpetuation through his work as the goal of architecture.

With his wife Elfriede, a journalist who was twelve years his junior and with whom he had been married since March 1962, he lived in Freiburg in the single-family house that he had designed for himself in 1950 and where he died.
