History

In 1933, after working for Ernő Goldfinger in Paris and for Norman Bel Geddes in New York City, and after completing a traineeship in the state construction administration, Helmut Hentrich founded his own office in Düsseldorf - a forerunner of today's HPP. Two years later, Hentrich joined forces with Hans Heuser to form the architectural partnership Hentrich & Heuser. Their practice participated in several competitions in the German Reich. In 1944, the practice was commissioned by the task force for the reconstruction of bomb-damaged cities to plan the reconstruction of Krefeld. Hentrich & Heuser continued its work seamlessly after World War II, in part thanks to their good relationships with Friedrich Tamms and Hanns Dustmann, who planned the reconstruction of Düsseldorf. These relationships were critisized in the so called Düsseldorfer Architektenstreit[4], a series of contraversies in the early 50s that arouse around the Nazi backgrounds of the personnel policies in the young Federal Republic[5].
After Heuser's death in 1953, Helmut Hentrich continued the joint venture with Hubert Petschnigg. In 1969, new partners were taken on and from then on, the office was called HPP - Hentrich-Petschnigg & Partner.
HPP began to internationalize in 1968 and designed the offices for the Standard Bank Centre in South Africa. This was followed by more international projects and the first international HPP offices from the 2000s on.[6] The management structure of the firm was reconstructed after the death of Hubert Petschnigg in 1997 and again after the death of its founder Helmut Hentrich in 2001. In 2017, HPP Hentrich-Petschnigg & Partner GmbH + Co. KG changed its name to HPP Architekten GmbH.[7] Currently, the company is in the fourth generation and has a total of 480 employees in 4 countries.[8]
