Life

After graduating from the Kaiserin-Theophanu-Gymnasium in Cologne, Ingeborg Flagge studied English at the University of Cambridge from 1962 to 1963 and graduated in 1963 with a state examination at the Cologne School of Translators and Interpreters. From 1963 to 1971 she studied general philosophy , ancient history , Sanskrit , classical archeology and Egyptology at the University of Cologne . From 1966 to 1971 she was a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation . With an international scholarship from the Study Foundation, she studied at University College London from 1967 to 1969 , where she wrote her dissertation. In 1967 she married the city planner Otto Flagge in London . After returning to Germany, he completed his doctorate in classical archeology and Egyptology at the philosophical faculty in Cologne on the importance of grasping in the Roman cult of the dead and its origin around 3400 BC. From the Mesopotamian Uruk .

In 1971, he started working as a public relations officer at the Federal Office of the Association of German Architects BDA in Bonn. In 1974 she became editor-in-chief of the BDA magazine der architects and was this for more than twenty years. With the help of the architect Kurt Ackermann , Munich, and the designer Otl Aicher , Rotis , she developed the association magazine graphically and in terms of content into a critical, well-read architecture magazine. In 1998 she resigned from her post in protest against the decline in the public quality of architecture. From 1978 to 1983, he also acted as the federal manager of the BDA and represented the independent architects as a lobbyist. From 1995 to 2000, Flagge held a chair for building history and building culture at the Leipzig University of Technology, Economics and Culture (HTWK), where she trained future architects. In June 2000 she became director of the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM) in Frankfurt, where, after a thorough renovation of the building, she doubled the number of exhibitions and increased the number of visitors. In 2003, among other things, she initiated the International High- Rise Award of the City of Frankfurt, which has since been awarded every two years in the Paulskirche . For Flag, "architecture is the essential expression of time" and she always viewed her work as a critical accompaniment.

At the end of 2005, she left the DAM two years before her contract expired and retired. As an explanation, she said that the house in Frankfurt had not received the financial and cultural-political support it deserved from the city, among other things. Because of such openness, the architecture critic of the FAZ , Dieter Bartetzko , referred to her as the "lady courage of architecture" and attested to her being a woman in no way averse to conflict.

Since 1984, Flagge has also worked as a freelance architecture critic and publicist. In addition to numerous lectures and articles in the daily and specialist press, she has written or published more than 80 books on architecture topics, including numerous monographs and architectural guides. It received the Critics' Prize from the Federal Chamber of Architects and the " Silver Hemisphere " from the German National Committee for Monument Protection .
