Winfried Wendland

Winfried Wendland (born March 17, 1903 in Gröben ; † October 17, 1998 ) was a German architect .

Life

After completing his stonemason apprenticeship in 1922, he studied at the building trade school and at the art school in Berlin. He worked in several architecture firms before he became a freelance architect in 1928. Even before the seizure of power , he became a member of the NSDAP in 1931 . From 1933 he was professor of church art at the United State Schools for Free and Applied Arts in Berlin and in 1934 he became the custodian of the Academy of Fine Arts .

In the same year Wendland wrote in the “monthly for worship and church art”: “That is why our attitude will also be a completely new one, because what was previously a work of art was an aesthetic matter for some rich people, but never symbolic language originates from the worldview. "

Wendland held a number of offices during the National Socialist period: "Consultant for NS art" in the Prussian Ministry of Culture, Reich consultant for the fine arts of the German Christians , co-founder of the Protestant Reich Office for Church Art ; Member of the Kampfbund for German Culture ; Managing Director of the Association for Religious Art; Initiator of the Berlin exhibition German Settling and Symbolic Building and around 1938 managing director of the Association for Religious Art.

In 1941 he was called up for military service and was taken prisoner by the French , from which he returned in 1947. From 1949 to 1953 he worked in the building department of the Evangelical Consistory Berlin-Brandenburg and in 1953 became a church building officer in Potsdam. He held this position until 1966. From 1962 to 1976 he worked as the head of the art service of the evangelical church.
