biography

Heckrott was the son of the painter and graphic artist Wilhelm Heckrott (1890–1964) and Magdalene Heckrott (1893–1989). He studied architecture and then had his office in Bremen on Wachmannstrasse in Schwachhausen . Among other things, he planned several buildings for the Catholic Church. The complex of the Catholic St. Birgitta Church with community center and retirement home, completed in 1971/72, was significant. The modern interpretation of a cubic “ basilica ” as a central room with a tent roof attracted a lot of attention as a brick building. He was later appointed lecturer and then professor in the architecture department at the Bremen University of Design .

Heckrott was buried in the Riensberg cemetery .
