Architectural context

About Werner Düttmann

Werner Düttmann (1921–1983) was a Berlin architect who served as the city's Senatsbaudirektor (chief building officer) from 1960 to 1966. All 8 of his buildings in the catalogue are in Berlin, spanning Modernist civic buildings, Brutalist sacred architecture, and private houses.

His work defined post-war West Berlin's architectural identity. The Academy of Arts (1960) on Hanseatenweg, the Brücke-Museum (1967), and the Hansa Library are restrained Modernist works. St. Agnes church (1967), now repurposed as the König Galerie, is among Berlin's finest Brutalist buildings — a raw concrete volume that translates sacred space into Modernist geometry. Düttmann also designed the Traffic Tower, the Palais am Funkturm, and Edinburgh House.
