reception

"Mattar and Scheler practiced a kind of 'Rhenish Sonderweg' in their architecture, which oscillates between baroque representation and functional building and is completely unaffected by the contemporary trends of the Bauhaus or their Rhenish characteristics in the work of the Cologne architect Wilhelm Riphan ."

- Paul-Georg Custodis : (2001)
