This page contains a selection of major German architects, with links to individual practice pages. We've selected what we feel are the key German Architects, but additions are always welcome. The focus is on contemporary German architects but information on traditional architecture studios is also welcome.
This country has produced a large amount of the msot respected architecture offices in the world. The most celebrated architect from the past is Mies Van der Rohe, famous for the National Gallery in Berlin, Germany. Also of major importance globally were Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Peter Behrens, Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius and Frei Otto, many as émigrés sinece the Second World War.
Towards the end of the 20th Century Behnisch Architekten were very well known globally, and popular amongst students of architecture. Currently the most notable German architecture practices are Gerkan, Marg & Partners and J Mayer H, though Bolles + Wilson and sauerbruch hutton are both also known outside Germany.
