Life

Nikolaus Rosiny comes from an entrepreneurial family; his ancestor Alexander Rosiny founded Märkische Mühlen AG, the first large mill in Duisburg, in the 19th century.

From 1947 to 1950 he studied architecture at the Technical University of Munich under Hans Döllgast , at the same time he was a student of Georg Brenninger and Heinrich Kirchner at the art academy. In 1950 he moved to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich , where he worked as an employee in Fritz Metzger's office . He continued his studies in 1952 at the Technical University of Karlsruhe . During his studies he worked as a construction manager and technical chief on the new building of the St. Anna church in Duisburg for Rudolf Schwarz and the church of St. Bonifatius in Dortmund for Emil Steffann , as well as on the renovation of State Secretary Hartmann's house in Bad Godesberg. Both architects are regarded as role models who significantly influenced his architectural style as cooperation partners. In 1954 Rosiny completed his studies with a diploma for the design of a lung sanatorium under Egon Eiermann with distinction. In the planning process, he was able to fall back on his own experience as a patient, as he had spent months in hospitals and sanatoriums due to an open tuberculosis disease. The construction of hospitals became a focus of his work alongside churches and community centers.

The University and the City of Karlsruhe awarded him the Weinbrenner Medal in 1953 . In 1955 he received a travel grant as part of the Fritz Schumacher Prize for young talent .

From 1955 to 1961 he initially worked as an employee for Emil Steffann. After opening his own office in 1961, he continued to work closely with Steffann until his death in 1968. Numerous sacred buildings, community centers and hospitals resulted from the partnership. In 1962 Rosiny received the sponsorship award from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. In 1963 he was elected to the advisory board for building design issues of the city of Cologne.

In the area of monument preservation , in collaboration with Gottfried Böhm , he planned and coordinated the restoration of Trier Cathedral , Eichstätt Cathedral and the palace in Saarbrücken . With the purchase of a historic mill on the Strunder Bach in Buchheim and its extensive restoration, he created a home for office and family. His wife and three of his six children still live in the Herler Mühle premises to this day .

From 1965 to 1972, as a representative of the Association of German Architects (BDA), he was a member of the Königshof contact group of architects and engineers in the Federal Republic of Germany. He was chairman of the founding committee of the North Rhine-Westphalia Chamber of Architects. After the NRW Architects Act was passed at the end of 1969, Nikolaus Rosiny took over the chairmanship of the so-called founding committee of the NRW Chamber of Architects, which designed the new chamber and prepared the first meeting of representatives. From 1968 to 1970 he was the first chairman of the BDA regional association in North Rhine-Westphalia. From 1971 to 1973 Rosiny was Vice President of the Federal Chamber of Architects . Among other things, he was instrumental in ensuring the quality of the profession. His membership card bore the number 00001. The partnership with the Cologne construction group (now BGK Cologne / Leipzig), which was established for foreign orders, resulted in designs for hospitals in Portugal and Malaysia. In 1978 Rosiny was commissioned to plan a hospital in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi German Hospital in Jeddah with its round arch elements was completed according to his design in 1988.

He was a judge for various competitions, including the design of the Neviges pilgrimage cathedral , an urban planning ideas competition in Bonn and the conversion of the St. Maximilian Church in Trier. He campaigned for the first sponsorship award from the Foundation of German Architects and regularly awarded it to successful young graduates. In 1980 he was made an honorary member of the BDA. From 1984 to 1992 he was Vice President of the NRW Chamber of Architects. From 1990 to 1992 he was also Vice President of the Federal Chamber of Architects.

In the last years of his life he had to stop his professional activity due to a hemiplegic paralysis as a result of a stroke. He continued to pursue his commitment to the Foundation of German Architects within the scope of his possibilities. In February 2011 he took part in the anniversary celebration before he died in March of the same year.
