Heinz Bienefeld (1926–1995) was a singular figure in

twentieth-century German architecture. His work,

as focused as it is exquisite, is remarkable for the

unique way in which it synthesised tradition and

modernity. Among Bienefeld’s masterworks are

Babanek and Kühnen, two houses that are exam
ined in detail in this publication.

Bienefeld’s distinct approach, which he developed in

fierce opposition to the prevailing spirit of the times,

is a source of fascination to the architectural

photographer Klaus Kinold and the architecture writer Wilfried Wang: his ground plans were based on

classical models such as Vitruvius and Palladio, he

had a passion for measure and proportion, and he

was devoted to the smallest details of craftsmanship

and the pursuit of beauty. In his text on the “Architect

of Silence”, Wang also discusses Bienefeld’s close

relationships with his predominantly private clients.
