Life

Following his school days, Radlbeck studied architecture at the Technical University of Munich from 1948 to 1952 . In 1953 he entered the service of the Deutsche Bundesbahn and began training as a trainee lawyer for senior civil servants. This was followed by short professional positions at the Bundesbahn directorates in Munich , Karlsruhe and Frankfurt , where he developed his first design, the ultra-modern reception building of the Frankfurt Ost train station .

In the autumn of 1959 he was transferred to the Hamburg Federal Railway Directorate as auxiliary and structural engineering department , where he took over the planning of the Vogelfluglinie's high-rise buildings and designed the Puttgarden station in a timeless, cubic design language.

With another transfer in 1970, he turned away from building and until his retirement in 1992 he headed the department for graphic design issues in the Design Center of the Federal Railroad Central Office in Munich. In 1981 he received his doctorate with a thesis on the relationship between the reception building and the station.
