Gottfried Böhm is the only German winner of Pritzker Architecture Prize. He is a representative of the architectural dynasty numbering six generations. Böhm’s grandfather and father also built churches and works by Gottfried has become the original answer to tradition of religious and family architecture.

Like the hero of the Heinrich Theodor Böll‘s novel "Billiards at half past nine,"Gottfried Böhm"blows up"the architecture of"fathers", responding to a tremendous upheaval of World War II and the subsequent reinterpretation of the moral categories such as responsibility, guilt and redemption.
