Egon Eiermann Collection by VS

The Continuity of Modernism

As one of the great names in German post-war architecture, Egon Eiermann was an advocate of functional design with an emphasis on aesthetics and clean lines. With his non-dogmatic designs based on the ideals of the Bauhaus school, he had a major influence on the selfperception of the new openminded Germany intent on conveying an attitude of modesty.

 

His most prominent works include the internationally acclaimed West German Pavilion at the Brussels World Exhibition (1958 - in collaboration with Sep Ruf), the new Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin (1961), the German Parliament Building in Bonn (1969), and the headquarters of IBM and Olivetti in Stuttgart and Frankfurt respectively (1970).
