Peter Luckner (* 1941 in Zwickau ) is a German environmental designer , engineer , designer and university professor . He lives and works in Halle (Saale) and in the Dübener Heide .

Professional development

Luckner's parents were craftsmen. He learned the trade of a fitter in the Reichsbahn repair shop in Zwickau. From 1961 to 1964 Luckner studied machine tool construction in Karl-Marx-Stadt (today Chemnitz again ) and from 1970 to 1973 electronic data processing in Leipzig . From 1964 to 1973 he worked as a technologist and later as a manager at VEB Werkzeugmaschinenbau Bad Düben.

From 1965 he studied at the University for Industrial Design Halle, Burg Giebichenstein in distance learning and graduated in 1970 with the diploma as industrial designer. In 1973 Horst Oehlke brought him to the University of Industrial Design in Halle, Burg Giebichenstein. In 1986 he received his doctorate at the TU Dresden with a thesis on the dialectics of production and producers. Until his retirement in 2007, he mainly worked in the areas of environmental redesign and multisensual design.

Peter Luckner teaches as an honorary and visiting professor at universities in China and Ukraine. Since 1991 Peter Luckner has headed the Institute for Ecological Aesthetics he founded in Halle, and since 1997 the Center for Future Technology, Art and Design in the Geiseltal .

Work and effect

Teaching program "Work Environment Design" (together with Dieter Franz) for the training of industrial designers specializing in work environment design at the University of Industrial Design in Halle, Burg Giebichenstein (1976–1979)

“On the other hand, shaping the working environment in the GDR can be declared a social task; it is even legal, ie anchored by a resolution of the Council of Ministers (1984) [...] This is not just a program that reacts to pressures to increase productivity. Rather, the task is justified with philosophical-ideological seriousness, regardless of the economic leitmotifs and planning specifications, integrated into the valid system of thought (cf. e.g. LUCKNER 1982, 1986; AiF 1985). "

Laboratory for action-guiding environmental education (vulgo Biohaus) at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle (1991–2001).

“Inspired by the ecological aesthetic of nature by Gernot Boehme, Peter Luckner tries to create a place in Halle with the establishment of the Institute for Ecological Aesthetics (1991) and the establishment of the conference center 'Biohaus' (1992-2002), which becomes a field of experimentation for the most diverse Groups will. They all share the goal of sensitizing people to natural processes. The knowledge gained there about the progressive de-sensualisation of perception led in 1999 to a model experiment for a 'specialization in multisensual design' at Giebichenstein Castle. Since in the past only visual and haptic factors played a role, the entire human sensory world should be included in the design. "

Initiator and leader of the pilot project in the higher education sector of the Federal-State Commission for Educational Planning and Research Funding (BLK) on the subject of "Multisensual Design" (1999–2002); Introduction to teaching as a specialization in the design department at Burg Giebichenstein Art College Halle (2002–2007).

“Multisensual design means the design of products, rooms and processes with all of the senses. As part of the “model experiment in the university sector” carried out between 1999 and 2002 at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle, acoustics and olfactory factors as a dimension of design work were systematically researched and their integration into teaching prepared. The anthology brings together contributions from scientists, artists and designers from Germany, Japan, the Ukraine, Switzerland and the USA, who bring their subject-specific competencies in theory and practice to a holistic design education. Multi-sensual design emphasizes the fleeting in the permanent and is therefore committed to the ideas of ecological aesthetics. "

Luckner has secured the term "multisensual design" as a trademark at the German Patent and Trademark Office.

He was a member of the Goitzsche Cultural Landscape Board of Trustees at EXPO 2000 Saxony-Anhalt from 1998 to 2001. The Goitzsche - the world's largest landscape art project.

In the early 1990s, Peter Luckner concentrated his project studies at the Burg Giebichenstein Art College in Halle on the Geiseltal post-mining landscape .

“Geiseltal: a lunar landscape becomes a cultural event. Crazy: a man goes into an abandoned machine shop in an area that many people must think of as Dante's hell. What he wants there, he thinks about it every day without saying that he has found it - it keeps him moving and ensures that he does not get stuck. This man takes the students from his Institute for Ecological Aesthetics with him, lures them out of the normal operation of a beautiful university in the beautiful Burg Giebichenstein (Halle), high above the Saale, to where it crunches: In a well-cared for atmosphere, the world was in the grid, it is now in the process of dissolving - in the process it is sucking up new dimensions - this, he says, is the impulse for an art that cares for the earth. […] Scenes were created in and around the machine hall: rhythmic sculptures. 'Always,' says Peter Luckner, 'technology was a game and aesthetics'. "

With Renate Patz and Jörg Hansel, he set up the Pfännerhall central workshop.

“With the end of mining in the Geiseltal in 1993, the PFÄNNERHALL central workshop should come to an end. Their demolition was already decided. A committed group of people around Dr. It is thanks to Peter Luckner, lecturer at the University of Art and Design Burg Giebichenstein in Halle, that the central workshop was preserved. In 1997 the support association ´Center for Future Technology, Art and Design Central Workshop PFÄNNERHALL Geiseltal´eV was founded. In 1999/2000, the renovation and renovation of Pfännerhall in accordance with the preservation order ”.

Intention, conception and project management (together with Roland Karge) of the permanent exhibition “Pfännerhall Fundort” in the Center for Future Technology, Art and Design - Pfännerhall Central Workshop, Geiseltal 2013/15

The central workshop in Pfännerhall "has belonged to the" Center for Future Technology, Art and Design "since 2000. The operators run it as a regional development center. Internationally it is known as the anchor point of the European Route of Industrial Culture. Pfännerhall location, the permanent exhibition of the old elephant and the primeval horse, is the decisive step in profiling the Pfännerhall central workshop as a visitor and information center in the Geiseltal.
