Architect

Hans Döllgast was one of the most significant architects in southern Germany after the World War II. His extensive body of built work – including churches and public buildings – showed a modern and highly sensitive approach to conservation, particularly in his renovation of the bomb-damaged Pinakotheke in Munich. In that project of the 1950s, Döllgast employed contemporary craftsmen using traditional materials to respond to the 19th century masterpiece without resorting to imitation or historical nostalgia.
