buildings
Wandel Hoefer Lorch became internationally known for their design for the new Dresden synagogue . This was in 2002 on the XXI. World Architecture Congress UIA honored with the World Architecture Award for the best building in Europe. Before that, the office appeared through a sacred building , namely in 1969 with the new building of the war-damaged Evangelical Church in Dillingen / Saar under the direction of the founder, Hubertus Wandel. The current owners of the office were already able to realize a competition entry for a memorial at Neuer Börneplatz in Frankfurt am Main as a student group . Since the construction of the synagogue in Dresden, the office has appeared with buildings in the sacred and cultural area.
In the two-stage urban planning architecture competition for the Jewish Center of Munich , to which more than 300 architectural offices from all over Europe had submitted their work, they were also awarded the contract and took on both planning and construction management. The Jewish Center Munich received the German Urban Development Award 2008 and an award from the German Architecture Award 2011.
For the documentation house at the Hinzert memorial they received an award at the German Steel Construction Prize 2006.
In June 2008, the office won with his design competition for the Jewish Museum and Archaeological Zone , which in Cologne on the square in front of the historic Town Hall above the archaeological zone and the medieval mikvah under the present title MiQua . LVR-Jewish Museum will be built in Cologne's Archaeological Quarter.
Under the title Material Zeit, the Architecture Museum of the Technical University of Munich in the Pinakothek der Moderne presented a representative cross-section of the office's projects for the first time in 2011, which "deals with the question of how history is spatially and structurally captured or dealt with more intensely than possibly anyone else in architecture . can be updated ".
The Ecumenical Forum HafenCity Hamburg, as well as the new extension and the renovation of the listed ensemble of the Evangelical Church in Munich, the redesign of the baroque synagogue in Bayreuth , the award-winning renovation and expansion of the Resurrection Church in Überlingen and the installation of a columbarium in the listed Carmelite Church in Boppard are witnesses to the specialization of the office in sacred and cultural buildings.
The completion and opening of the learning and memorial site "Hotel Silber" on December 3, 2018 in Stuttgart generated great public interest . The historical place is a place of organized Nazi terror and for more than half a century a place of the police in several political systems. The construction of the permanent exhibition and the renovation of the house were preceded by a successful competition win in 2015.
