Peter Pfankuch (born July 15, 1925 in Berlin ; † February 12, 1977 there ) was a German architect .

Live and act

From 1942 to 1943, Peter Pfankuch attended the art and craft teaching facility run by Hugo Häring - private school for design , the original Reimann school , in Berlin and took courses in architectural drawing with Häring and Peter Friedrich . Then from 1943 to 1944 he went to Hans Scharoun as a structural draftsman in his architectural office.

After the war , he made up his Abitur in Berlin and began studying architecture at the Technical University of Berlin in 1946 . At the same time, he was an assistant at the chair for urban planning at Scharoun. He received his diploma in 1949. From 1948 to 1950 he worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Construction of the German Academy of Sciences in the eastern part of Berlin , then from 1951 to 1956 as an employee of the architect Hermann Fehling . According to his plans, a canteen as well as industrial and church buildings were built.

1956 began two new professional activities: on the one hand he assisted Hans Scharoun at the chair for urban planning at the Technical University of Berlin until 1958, on the other hand he formed the office community Fehling, Gogel, Pfankuch with Hermann Fehling and Daniel Gogel until 1960. During this time, the Berlin Pavilion in the Hansaviertel and the award-winning student village Schlachtensee of the Free University of Berlin were built .

From 1960 he worked as a freelance architect in Berlin and planned, among other things, community halls in Berlin-Spandau and Berlin-Tempelhof , single-family houses in Berlin-Dahlem , -Mariendorf and -Nikolassee and a daycare center in Berlin-Frohnau .

From 1961 to 1976 he was scientific secretary of the architecture section of the Academy of Arts, Berlin (West) . In this function he was also involved in the organization of the Erasmus Prize ceremony for his mentor Hans Scharoun in 1970/1971 .

Between 1961 and 1965, the Tagesspiegel published a series of 49 articles with the motto “Exemplary in the Berlin cityscape”. The buildings dealt with in it were selected by Hans Scharoun, the landscape architect Walter Rossow and Peter Pfankuch. The series is still important today; it was issued in 2002 by the Deutscher Werkbund . Pfankuch was a member of the Werkbund from 1961 to 1974.

From 1962 to 1973 Pfankuch formed an office community with Dieter Enke. Due to his involvement in the academy, however, he had to largely leave the work on the joint projects to Enke, which were there: Urban planning report, sub-residential area Berlin-Buckow-Rudow (BBR), later: Gropiusstadt ; Partial residential area V, Gropiusstadt, Berlin-Neukölln ; Housing construction in Märkisches Viertel , Berlin-Reinickendorf ; Urban planning for the redevelopment area Berlin-Neukölln, Aronsstrasse , including the construction of 802 apartments, a parking garage and commercial buildings.

From 1970 until his death in 1977 the academy employee Peter Pfankuch was himself a member of the artists' association.
