Immo Krumrey (1923–2013, industrial designer)

Immo Krumrey (born October 25, 1923 in Pirmasens ; † March 4, 2013 ) was a German industrial designer .

Life

After graduating from high school in 1942, military service radio in Berlin, southern and northern Norway. American captivity in the Ardennes, USA / Wisconsin, then mining and agriculture in France until 1949.

He studied interior design combined with an apprenticeship as a carpenter at the master school for handicrafts in Kaiserslautern, then the industrial arts department of the state trade institute Kaiserslautern until 1952.

Krumrey then began a second degree at the Ulm School of Design (hfg), which is currently being established . After an interview with Max Bill in the construction office on Bahnhofstrasse in Ulm , he was accepted as the twelfth student (basic apprenticeship 1/1953). He had the first basic training seminar with Walter Peterhans , further courses and seminars with Josef Albers , Baravalle, Johannes Itten , Max Bense and Helene Nonné-Schmidt . Here he found the basis for the design problems in post-war Germany. In 1954 he interrupted his studies for financial reasons and resumed in 1955. In the Max Bill studio (product form department), he worked on the design of office swivel chairs for Stoll in Waldshut. In 1957 there were differences between the student representative Krumrey and the Geschwister-Scholl-Stiftung as the sponsor of the hfg, as a result of which Krumrey left the hfg in February 1958.

Krumrey then joined the re-established product design department at AEG in Frankfurt am Main . A widespread product design by Krumreys is the post-top luminaire HQL with mirror reflectors from AEG Hameln / Weser, which has found worldwide distribution in street lighting as a long seller with descendants and numerous copies from other manufacturers. In 1970, Krumrey became the first industrial designer to move to the Design Center of the Deutsche Bundesbahn in Munich. There he was responsible for the interior fittings of the rail vehicles for passenger transport. From 1970 to 1988 he was responsible for contract management for the processing of orders from the Federal Railroad with external design contractors.

For a time Krumrey was Vice President of the VDID (Association of German Industrial Designers). From 1990 he worked as a consultant with the Active Seniors Bavaria .

Immo Krumrey was married from 1964 and had lived with his wife in Bavaria since 1970, very withdrawn since 2005 due to health restrictions. He died in 2013. He was the father of two sons. His eldest son works as a freelance sculptor.
