International Hans Döllgast Days 2024Thursday, June 6 and Friday, June 7, 2024

On the 50th anniversary of the death of Hans Döllgast (1891-1974)

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Hans Döllgast's death, the Department of Architecture of the TUM School of Engineering and Design (Archive of the Architekturmuseum der TUM + Chair of Design) in cooperation with the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts will honor the life, work and impact of the important German architect and university professor with a two-day event.

Hans Döllgast studied architecture at the Technical University of Munich from 1910 to 1914. He learned freehand drawing from Paul Pfann and watercolor painting from Friedrich von Thiersch. He masterfully developed these techniques into a personal expression. After working with Richard Riemerschmid and Peter Behrens, Döllgast took on his first teaching assignments at the THM in 1929. In 1939 he received an associate professorship and in 1942 a full professorship for "Freehand Drawing and Spatial Art". In the post-war period, Döllgast was a formative teaching personality and taught all visual and design subjects. As an architect, he is best known for saving historical buildings during the reconstruction of Munich. Internationally he became known by his "creative restoration" of the Alte Pinakothek.
