Horst Peter Dollinger
Horst Peter Dollinger (born July 12, 1927 in Germany) is an architect , painter and author .
Life
Dollinger was drafted into military service in 1944 when he was not even 17 years old. His stations were the Kaufbeuren pilot school , the Gardelegen parachute jump school and operations with repeated enemy contact as the first company reporter.
After his apprenticeship, his first job was in the Bad Saulgau district building authority in 1953. There he made, among other things, designs for a town hall, a district hospital and several development plans. At this time he was already receiving private construction contracts and set up on his own early on. As a young architect, not even 28 years old, in 1957 he was given the sole contract to build the new 34 m high industrial tower for the Ritz und Schweizer company . This was followed by movie theater buildings, schools, a church, a cemetery hall, commercial buildings, apartment blocks, a large terrace house and fancy bungalows.
In 1966, Dollinger was accepted into the Richard Neutra Institute, Los Angeles, USA. In 1967 Richard Neutra offered him a professorship in the USA, which he declined for personal reasons. In 1986 he was appointed to the organizing committee of the UN University for Peace of the United Nations, USA (University of Peace). In 1994 he was appointed to Brazil as a university professor.
Dollinger was politically active. From 1971 to 1980 he was city councilor of the state capital Stuttgart and deputy parliamentary group chairman. From 1971 he was President of the Dollinger Environmental Protection Association in 1971, which in 1971 demanded the protection of non-smokers, the end of nuclear power and unleaded petrol.
architecture
As early as the 1960s he developed systems that systematically incorporate plants into the architecture, including the “Green Bungalow Tower”, the “Floating Gardens” system, the “Ypsilon House” and the “T House”. He designed a wind power station in 1962. The project for a 3-mast television tower in Berlin was created in 1966. For the 1967 World Exhibition , the mayor of Montreal decided to build Dollinger's cabin tower. The project was not carried out due to the fact that the construction time for the 100 m high tower was too short. In addition, from 1966 he planned the city of Neusaar for 30,000 people near Saarbrücken .

painting
Horst Peter Dollinger was a student of Max Ackermann , whose museum he planned. He developed new techniques and his own painting style himself. His depictions mainly contain dynamic motifs: waves, rays, eruptions. He himself describes his painting style as "dynamic harmony". Three museums bought his paintings: the Stuttgart Museum bought a painting in 1986, the Schwäbisch Gmünd Museum bought a picture in 1990, and the Würth Museum in Künzelsau in 2009.
