Johannes Peter Holzinger Author

Johannes Peter Holzinger was born in Bad Nauheim in 1936. From 1954 to 1957 he studied architecture at the Stadelschule in Frankfurt am Main. After a scholarship visit to the Deutsche Akademie Villa Massimo in Rome he founded, in 1965, a "planning association for new forms of the environment", together with Zero artist Hermann Goepfert, who has since died. One of the most successful results of his work with Goepfert was a new design for the Schlo-park in Karlsruhe for the Bundesgartenschau in 1967, which won a major German architectural prize, the Hugo-Haring-Preis. From 1991 Holzinger has directed the course for art and public space at the Akademie der Bildenden Kunste in Nuremberg.
