Jürgen Overdiek
Jürgen Overdiek (* 1954 in Gladbeck ; † February 21, 2007 ) was a German architect and urban planner .
Life
After graduating from secondary school, Overdiek moved to St. Ursula Dorsten high school . Here he passed his Abitur in 1974 and then studied architecture at RWTH Aachen University from 1977 to 1982 . Jürgen Overdiek, like his later partners Karl-Heinz Petzinka and Christoph Ingenhoven , emerged from the school of Wolfgang Döring . From 1982 to 1996 Overdiek worked in an office partnership with Karl-Heinz Petzinka, from 1996 to 1999 with Hans Kahlen , then with Christoph Ingenhoven ( Ingenhoven Overdiek and Partners ). In 2004 he went into business for himself without a partner.
Overdiek described his decision to part with his partner Christoph Ingenhoven and to work completely independently with around 30 employees in an interview:
“Ingenhoven Overdiek had 125 employees at the time. Then I was only in the service of the cause and could no longer work artistically. Even now I can't spend an hour designing a railing, but I can develop complex urban planning projects with my 30 employees. That's my thing. " .
The seat of his architecture office was the Plange mill in Düsseldorf's Medienhafen , a former mill that is under monument protection and which Overdiek himself had redesigned into an office building with 20,000 m² of usable space by 2003.
With Kai 18 GmbH & Co. KG , which he founded, he also appeared as a project developer, investor, owner and service provider. At the turn of the year 2006/2007 Overdiek founded the Cover-Projektentwicklungsgesellschaft GmbH together with Georg Conzen and took over the RAG-Gewerbeimmobilien GmbH (RGI) division from the RAG Immobilien GmbH ( parent company ).
In February 2007 Jürgen Overdiek returned to Germany from a stay abroad via Frankfurt Airport. Together with his older brother Hans H. Overdiek (formerly the head of the Upper Palatinate furniture and construction supplier Pfleiderer ), he had himself picked up by a company car and had a fatal accident on the A3 to Düsseldorf at the Ransbach / Baumbach exit.
Overdiek left behind his wife and four children.
