Life

Career

As the son of the architect Franz Nöcker (1859–1939) and nephew of Adolf Nöcker (1856–1917), Peter F. Nöcker grew up in Cologne's old town. There he attended the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gymnasium, which he left at Easter 1914 when he passed the school leaving examination . Afterwards he worked in Franz Brantzky 's studio , he was drafted at the beginning of the First World War , but soon afterwards dismissed because of his unsuitability. He continued his work at Brantzky and attended the building trade school in Cologne from October 1915 to June 1917 . In 1917 he was drafted again for military service. After the war he continued his studies and finished it in March 1920 with "distinction". Employed in the Moritz & Betten office from April to October 1920 , Nöcker then took two semesters at the Technical University of Stuttgart , with final exams in statics and urban planning . After working for two years - from December 1921 to October 1923 - in the office of Fritz August Breuhaus de Groot , he joined his father in October 1923 as a freelance architect. In 1925, the year after his marriage, he moved to Braunsfeld - in the middle of the villa district south of Aachener Strasse - where his clientele was also based. Due to the Jewish descent of his wife Anna Nöcker geb. Peter F. Nöcker had been banned from his profession on June 24, 1940. After the end of the Second World War he had a decisive influence on the reconstruction of Cologne. He played a key role in the formation of the town planning conference in 1946.

In addition, he was a member of the board of directors of the Cologne branch of the Association of German Architects (BDA) until 1933 ; after the re-establishment of the BDA, he held this office again from 1949 to 1955. He was also a member of the board of directors of the Good Shepherd Monastery in Cologne-Lindenthal and looked after the Krieler Dömchen, not far from his private home .

“They never assumed that they would appear ingenious and original at any price, they did not need to create a sensation with designs of bold randomness. There is something architecturally dignified about her way of building, which immediately creates a feeling of sympathy and trust. "

- Martin Richard Möbius, 1932
