Paul Trüdinger (* 1895 in Bregenz ; † 1961 ) was a Swiss architect .

Live and act

Paul Trüdinger had three older siblings and was a cousin of Herbert Wiegandt . After attending the secondary school in Basel , he studied in Zurich and Stuttgart before completing a two-year internship in Holland . He then returned to Stuttgart, where from 1924 he ran an architecture office together with Hans Volkart .

Paul Trüdinger left Germany in 1933 and became a city architect in St. Gallen . In 1939 Paul Trüdinger became a city planner in Basel; but he encountered resistance there and therefore returned to St. Gallen in 1951. There he worked in an office community with Eric Arthur Steiger .

Trüdinger planned, among other things, the first high-rise surgery for the cantonal hospital and the Grossacker parish hall in St. Gallen, the Protestant church in Marbach , which was inaugurated in 1955, and the Aadorf parish center, inaugurated in 1959 .

Paul Trüdinger's estate is kept in the St. Gallen State Archives. Among other things, it includes plans for 39 buildings.

Kreuzkirche in Stuttgart-Hedelfingen

Kreuzkirche Stuttgart-Hedelfingen

Among other things, Trüdinger designed the Protestant New Church (since 1980: Kreuzkirche) in Hedelfingen . This preaching church in the style of the New Building "without ingredients and false appearance", as Trüdinger commented, was built from 1929 to 1930 and inaugurated on October 26 of the same year.

Apart from the windows, the Kreuzkirche has been preserved almost in its original form and is described in a travel guide as a "high point in the career of the architect Paul Trüdinger". It is a listed building . Trüdinger had initially designed a church as a solid masonry structure , but it would have been too expensive. In his second draft, inspired by the Weißenhofsiedlung , he planned the reinforced concrete structure , which was then also implemented.

Engelwies school building in St. Gallen

The south wing of the Engelwies school building originates from Trüdinger's first phase in St. Gallen and is considered to be one of the first school buildings in a new school building typology in Eastern Switzerland.

The Kunstgewerbemuseum in Zurich had initiated a reorientation with the exhibition Das Kind und seine Schulhaus , which resulted in schools no longer being planned as monumental representative buildings, but more emphasis being placed on light, sun, air and flexible use.

The Engelwies school building was built in two construction phases; the first under the direction of Trüdinger, the second under Alois Osterwalder. Although this took over many of the design elements from Trüdinger, it turned out to be much more conservative compared to this.
