Winfried Sziegoleit

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Winfried Sziegoleit (born October 2, 1939 in Insterburg ; † January 16, 2021 in Leipzig ) was a German architect and founding president of the Saxony Chamber of Architects . He played a key role in the designs for the third Gewandhaus Leipzig and the Rundkino Dresden .

Life

Sziegoleit was born as the son of a trade teacher and a farmer in Insterburg, East Prussia. After the end of the Second World War , the family moved to Köthen , where he graduated from high school in 1958 . After an apprenticeship as a carpenter, he studied architecture from 1959 to 1965 at the TH and TU Dresden, among others with Rolf Göpfert and Fritz Schaarschmidt . Until 1968, Sziegoleit worked at the design institute of the civil engineering faculty at TUD, which was headed by Göpfert. From 1969 to 1975 he worked as an architect in the Leipzig Housing Combine and was then an architect on the construction team at the Leipzig District Council until 1990 . With Eberhard Göschel, he founded an independent architecture and planning office in 1990, which he has been running as the architecture office Sziegoleit, Markkleeberg , since 1999 .

In 1991 Sziegoleit became the founding president of the Saxony Chamber of Architects , which he chaired until 1993; he subsequently became its honorary president. During his time as president, for example, he was chairman of the jury that awarded Peter Kulka's design for the building of the Saxon state parliament . Sziegoleit was Vice President of the Federal Chamber of Architects from 1999 to 2001 and was a member of the Saxon Academy of the Arts .

Werner Sziegoleit was at home in Markkleeberg .

Act

Rundkino, Dresden
New Gewandhaus, Leipzig

Sziegoleit's first significant design was the Rundkino Dresden while he was still working at the TU Dresden . As part of an architecture competition, he and Manfred Fasold submitted the design for a circular cinema building, which received one of two second prizes in the competition in 1966 (no first prize was awarded for 17 works submitted) and was finally implemented. However, Sziegoleit's design did not provide for a separate basement, but continued the vertical structure of the facade down to the floor. Its basic concept was changed by the architecture collective around Gerhard Landgraf , Waltraud Heischkel and Günter Gruner as part of the implementation planning and implemented from 1970 to 1972. The finished building now showed a circumferential, protruding wreath with design elements by Gerhard Papstein on the lower floors . The building has been a listed building since 2003.

During his time at the Leipzig Housing Combine, Sziegoleit was entrusted with the processing of the unrealized Auditorium Maximum of the new Leipzig university complex based on designs by Hermann Henselmann . He also made further designs for the new university buildings. The central work in Sziegoleit's work is the Leipzig Gewandhaus , built from 1977 to 1981 , the structural design of which goes back to Sziegoleit's designs from 1974 and 1976, among other things. With the entrance building of the bowling club on Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz in Leipzig, built from 1985 to 1987 , Sziegoleit again made "one of the few substantial contributions to the architecture of [postmodernism] in the GDR". As early as 2009, the building was listed as a “remarkable example of GDR architecture”.

After the fall of the Wall , Sziegoleit carried out the fundamental renovation of central historical buildings at the University of Leipzig , including the former Royal Palace , the Geschwister-Scholl-Haus and the Red College, with his own architectural office .

In 1987 Sziegoleit received the Leipzig District Architecture Prize . The Leipzig Cultural Foundation honored Sziegoleit's work in 2008 with a personal exhibition.
