Peter Dierichsweiler (born January 17, 1892 in Königswinter , † March 18, 1966 in Büderich ) was a German architect .

Life

Peter Dierichsweiler did an apprenticeship as a stonemason in Würzburg, went to Düsseldorf and studied with Wilhelm Kreis at the Düsseldorf School of Applied Arts . When it was dissolved in 1919, he transferred to Fritz Becker's architecture department at the Düsseldorf Art Academy .

From 1922 to 1923, the St. George Church in Leipzig-Gohlis was built according to plans by Clemens Lohmer from 1909 under the overall direction and advice of Andreas Huppertz, professor of Christian art at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. The Way of the Cross, designed as a memorial, was made in Rochlitz porphyry according to Dierichsweiler's design by Jupp Rübsam and Theodor Haake .

During the occupation in 1924, a competition to redesign the Düsseldorf Rhine front and the town hall was announced. Dierichsweiler received first prize for his design in the competition for the new town hall. Wilhelm Kreis (2nd prize) and Emil Fahrenkamp (city hall design 1925) also took part in the competition; none of the designs was carried out. Under Kreis, he designed housing developments for the GeSoLei in 1926 in the "Building Block Düsseldorf-Nord" and the settlement chapel of the model estate in the exhibition.

From 1923 to 1953 Dierichsweiler was employed in the construction department of the city of Düsseldorf, temporarily as head of the design department. He had drawn up a design for the reconstruction of the Malkasten House , but the plans by architects Helmut Hentrich and Hans Heuser were carried out in 1947/1949 . From 1953 he was a freelance architect based in Büderich and a member of the Association of German Architects (BDA).
