The story
Founded by Josef Bieling in 1955.1
In 1955, the architect Josef Bieling (1919–1981) founded the Architekturbüro Josef Bieling in his hometown Kassel. He focused on the planning and building of churches in the dioceses of Fulda, Paderborn and Hildesheim. He built 35 new churches, among other sacred buildings, and restored and remodeled several others. He also engaged in the building of senior citizens’ homes, kindergartens, parish halls, hospitals, schools, hotels and private homes. The new churches have included St. Bonifatius and St. Theresia, both in Kassel, Zu den heiligen Engeln in Hanover, and the pilgrimage church Maria Hilf in Trutzhain.
His sons, Kurt Bieling (born 1951) and Thomas Bieling (born 1956), also studied architecture, at the Technische Universität Braunschweig. From 2011, Thomas Bieling has been the only director of the firm now called Bieling Architekten.
The firm is known for large projects in several German cities, such as the restoration of the Unterneustadt in Kassel, and the new quarters Waidmarkt in Cologne's Oversburg, and Wallhöfe in Hamburg-Neustadt.
