Life

Melanchthon Church, built by Karl-Heinz Lorey between 1960 and 1961, in the Hanover district of Bult

Born at the time of the German Empire , Karl-Heinz Lorey first attended elementary school in Höfestraße from 1915 to 1918 in the middle of World War I , before moving to the Leibniz Reform Realgymnasium at the time , where he graduated from high school in 1928.

Also at the time of the Weimar Republic , he began studying architecture at the Technical University in Hanover in 1928 , which he completed with the main diploma examination in 1933, the year the National Socialists came to power .

Until 1935 Lorey was employed as an employee in the offices of the architects Alfred Weber , Karl Otte and Friedrich Wilhelm Schick , before he started freelance in 1935 and was accepted into the then Association of German Architects (BDA) in the same year . During this time, for example, from 1938 onwards, he created buildings on Linsingenstrasse .

In the year of the beginning of the Second World War , the military service of Karl-Heinz Lorey began in 1939 , who from 1940 worked as the government building officer of the Air Force . During this time he built large and field airports for military use in Norway , the conquered Russian parts of the Soviet Union , in North Africa and in fascist Italy during the Mussolini era. In 1945 he was finally taken prisoner of war .

After his release, Karl-Heinz Lorey was able to resume his freelance work in Hanover under the British military rulers. On July 1, 1947, he was accepted into the newly founded Association of German Architects. In the early years of the economic boom , he headed its Hanover district group as chairman from 1952 to 1954, before he was a member of the federal board of the BDA as chairman of the fees committee from 1954 to 1970.

In the meantime, Lorey had been active as a representative of the BDA in Hanover until 1955, initially in the building committee of the city ​​council of the state capital and then worked as a member of the expert and building maintenance advisory board of Hanover.

After Karl-Heinz Lorey was made an honorary member of the BDA on November 14, 1968, he also served as a member of the representative assembly of the Lower Saxony Chamber of Architects from 1971 to 1979 .

In 1972 Lorey and numerous other architects were among the signatories of a protest against the demolition of a well-preserved villa at Hindenburgstrasse 5 in Hanover's Zoo district, which is one of a characteristic historical group of buildings . Together with 26 other well-known architects, they publicly asked the following question:

“[...] The destruction of the war has already affected the diversity of architectural traditions in our city. This destruction continues almost unnoticed today. For how much longer?"

From 1978 to 1986 Lorey entered into an architectural partnership with his son, the architect (BDA) and graduate engineer Rainer Lorey , to run a joint office.

Karl-Heinz Lorey died in 2001.
