Olaf Andreas Gulbransson

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Olaf Andreas Gulbransson (born January 23, 1916 in Munich ; † July 18, 1961 ) was a German architect .

Life

Olaf Andreas Gulbransson was the son of the Norwegian draftsman and painter Olaf Gulbransson (1873-1958) and the writer Grete Gulbransson born. Jehly (born July 31, 1882 in Bludenz , † March 26, 1934 in Munich).

After studying architecture at the Technical University of Munich , Gulbransson worked for some time after the Second World War as a government master builder ( assessor ) in the Supreme Building Authority of the Munich Interior Ministry and in the advertising department of the Agfa company . As a freelance architect, especially in Bavaria , he has been creating a large number of trend-setting Protestant church buildings since 1953 . Further Gulbransson buildings were added posthumously throughout Germany.

On July 18, 1961, the only 45-year-old Gulbransson was killed in a car accident on the A9 motorway between Pfaffenhofen and Holledau . He was buried in the cemetery of the Church of the Resurrection in Rottach-Egern .

plant

Characteristic for Gulbransson's work is an open tent architecture, the play with basic geometric shapes, and the central arrangement of the altar, pulpit and baptismal font. The tent stands for “being a guest” on earth and is reminiscent of the pen tent of the Old Testament. In Gulbransson's church rooms, the pastor and congregation are usually assigned to one another in an open circle - just as a group of listeners naturally forms around the speaker.
