1st place in competition for SUS Tech School of Medicine & Hospital

Medicine and nature in harmony

In the metropolis of Shenzhen a comprehensive health complex is being built, consisting of a university area with a library, a clinic with a training centre as well as residential, leisure and sports facilities. The complex, located between a chain of hills and a river, is harmoniously integrated into the surrounding landscape. In the interplay of topography and architecture, landscape elements flow into the concept in the form of a green base storey and façade greening. The U-shape of the individual building areas creates varied outdoor spaces and a loosened-up internal structure. Through this network of relationships between interior and exterior space, the health complex contributes to the well-being of staff and patients.

1st prize for the new town house in Ahlen

New building with a sense of direction

15 architectural and landscape architecture firms took part in the “Bürgercampus Stadt Ahlen” realisation competition. Now Gerber Architekten has won first place in the Europe-wide competition, followed by two third places.
The design interlocks the course of the Werse and the historic city wall edge to create an elongated, angled structure. This leaves enough space for a riverside promenade and an urban forecourt. From there, the building opens up to both the city and the river side. The narrow building cubature is divided into three sections of different heights. On the roof of the middle three-storey section there is a green roof terrace that affords an unobstructed view of the old town, the city park and the Werse and underlines the permeability of the town house. Energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness are key features of the design. The necessary above-ground parking spaces are harmoniously incorporated into the design of the outdoor facilities.

Digital home visit of the Young Planners

An event of the North Rhine-Westphalia Chamber of Architects

As part of the “Junge Planer” event organised by the North Rhine-Westphalia Chamber of Architects, a digital house call at Gerber Architekten took place. In a Zoom conference, graduates and students were able to gain an insight into the premises and everyday working life of our Dortmund office. Prof. Eckhard Gerber, Benjamin Sieber and other members of staff spoke about our philosophy and fields of work. This resulted in an interesting and lively Q&A session with the approximately 30 young planners.

It was a pleasure for us to get in contact with the young planners especially in these special circumstances. You can find a complete report in the Deutsches Architektenblatt or under the following link:

Gerber Architekten baut Geschäftsführung aus

Strategische Erweiterung für die Zukunft

Gerber Architekten hat sich in den letzten 50 Jahren stetig weiterentwickelt. So bestehen außer dem Standort in Dortmund weitere Büros in Hamburg, Berlin, Riad, Shanghai, Gießen und Münster.

Für die Zukunft haben wir nun die Geschäftsleitung breiter aufgestellt. Neue Geschäftsführer der Gerber Architekten GmbH sind Jens Bentfeld (Büro Hamburg) und Benjamin Sieber (Büro Dortmund). Diese verstärken zusammen mit dem Gründer und Inhaber Eckhard Gerber das Führungsteam. Seit Dezember 2020 unterstützen zudem fünf Prokuristen die Geschäftsführung in inhaltlichen und strategischen Fragen. Hierzu wurden Barbara Breitenbach (Kostenmanagement und Bauabwicklung), Jens Haake (Projektdirektor), Michael Halbeisen (Projektdirektor), Ralf Schneider (Kostenmanagement und Bauausführung) sowie Brigitte Tamásy (Projektdirektorin) berufen.

Eine Neugründung ist zudem die Gerber Architekten International GmbH (GAI), die ihr Büro in Berlin am Hausvogteiplatz 12 unterhält. Geschäftsführender Gesellschafter ist wie bei der Gerber Architekten GmbH ebenfalls Eckhard Gerber, als weiterer Geschäftsführer wurde Thomas Lücking (Berlin) bestellt. Zum kommenden Jahr soll das Geschäftsfeld China in die GAI integriert werden.

Durch die Bündelung des Knowhows unserer Mitarbeiter, die über jahrelange Managementerfahrung innerhalb des Unternehmens verfügen, ist Gerber Architekten nun umso mehr zukunftsweisend und leistungsstark aufgestellt.

European Heritage Days 2020

Tönnishof – Architecture of old and new

The motto of the Open Monument Day 2020 “The Monument: Remember. Preserve. Rethink” refers to an important field of work in architecture: the reactivation of historical buildings.

Since the 16th century the Tönnishof used to be a farmhouse. Back in 1884 the farmer couple Dietrich Wilhelm and Elsa Tönnis build a modern, square courtyard complex for the stables, barns and the equipment, as well as a villa connected in the axis of the square as a stately home. The Tönnishof survived the World War I and II without damages. It was the construction of the new train line that sealed the fate of the complex. The high railroad embankment separated the farmland from the courtyard and required the partial demolition of the complex. As a result the last farmer, Günter Tönnis, decided to give up and sell the Tönnishof in 1977. In 1978, Prof. Eckhard Gerber first purchased the neo-classical style villa, which he had restored and has used since then as a residential building and an architectural office with currently 110 employees.

On September 13, 2020, Prof. Eckhard Gerber and his wife, the restorer Anngrit Gerber, will give a tour at the Tönnishof.

City-Tower-BO – New gateway to Bochum city center

Mixed-use underlines the openness of the university and cultural city

On the site of a former parking garage in Bochum, List Develop Commercial is realizing the City-Tower-BO as investor and project developer. According to a design by Gerber Architects, a mix of working, habitation and living will be created on approx. 20,000 m². The planning of the mixed-use building in the center of Bochum, which is more than 60 meters high, offers the opportunity to rethink the area of a former bunker and then a parking garage in a top urban development location. In keeping with Bochum’s versatility as a city of science and a cultural magnetc, the City-Tower, located in the immediate vicinity of the main train station, offers a versatile mix of uses. Hotel, office, serviced apartments, gastronomy and retail are spread over 21 levels.

The vertical densification concept of the City-Tower is more than just a sensible solution for the corner site between Südring, Universitätsstraße and railroad lines. With the chessboard-like skyscraper silhouette, Bochum will receive another striking building block in the city’s entrée. A spacious, two-story foyer and large panoramic windows emphasize the conceptual openness of the City Tower. From the Skybar you can enjoy the view of Bochum even in the evening hours. The new multi-storey parking lot positioned behind the high-rise offers sufficient parking space for users and visitors. The City-Tower with its retail offerings is also an enrichment for the residents. As the “gateway to the city centre”, the City-Tower forms an architectural welcoming gesture at one of the most important access roads to Bochum city centre and opposite the main railway station.
