Peter Lehrcke

Peter Lehrcke (born May 24, 1924 in Dresden ; † December 13, 2010 in Berlin ) was a German architect and professor at the Technical University of Berlin .

Lehrcke is considered one of the leading representatives of Protestant church building after the Second World War . As a student at the Technical University of Berlin, he received significant theological impulses from Eberhard Bethge , the biographer and friend of Dietrich Bonhoeffer , who had a lasting influence on his later work as a church builder. Many of Lehrecke's buildings are now listed as historical monuments .

Lehrcke was a member of the Berlin Scientific Society .
