Act

Lechner was the son of the civil engineer and railway entrepreneur Theodor Lechner (1852–1932).

After studying in Munich , Göttingen and Darmstadt , he founded an architecture office in 1912 together with Fritz Norkauer (1887–1986). From the 1920s onwards, their designs were awarded for numerous competitions, for example for the Walchensee power plant and Oberwiesenfeld Airport . In Munich the office worked on several residential construction projects. Both were representatives of the " Bavarian Post Building School ". In 1927 they built one of the first flat-roof houses in Munich at the “Bavarian Crafts” exhibition . Lechner initially took a modern approach to architecture. From 1931 to 1932, Sep Ruf did a one-year internship at the architects Norkauer & Lechner and became friends with the married couple Anny and Theo Lechner.

In 1934 he took over the design of the exhibition "Die Straße" on the Theresienhöhe . The exhibition was organized by Fritz Todt . The graphic design of the giant wall map with the network of autobahns took Valentin Zietara .

Lechner was a member of the Association of German Architects and the German Werkbund as well as the Kampfbund for German Culture . From 1950 to 1961 he was chairman of the Isar Valley Association and in 1963 he was made an honorary member of the Bavarian State Association for Homeland Care .

His body was buried in the north cemetery. The architecture museum of the Technical University of Munich manages his estate .
