Johannes Mronz studied architecture at the Polytechnic in Krakow , from there he came to Cologne in 1958. He was married to the gallery owner Ute Mronz and lived with his family in Cologne-Junkersdorf . The architect Nicole Mronz (* 1962), the former tennis player Alexander Mronz (* 1965) and the sports manager Michael Mronz (* 1967) came from the marriage .

In 1963 Mronz founded his own architectural office in Cologne-Müngersdorf . In 1972 Hanspeter Kottmair became a partner in the office, which now traded as Mronz + Kottmair .

Mronz died in 1998 at the age of 68 and was buried in Cologne's Melaten cemetery (hall 12 (G)).

After Mronz's death, Kottmair, together with junior partner Nicole Mronz, took over the company, which had 35 employees at the time, until the end of September 2001 and has been running it under his name ever since. In 2001 Nicole Mronz became a partner in the new Mronz + Schaefer Architects office in Cologne-Müngersdorf.
