Biography

German architects Georg Holke, Hermann Dieter and Karl Pregizer submitted the work Stadion und Wassersport-Anlagen Duisburg (Stadium and Watersports Facilities in Duisburg) to the 1928 Art Competitions in Amsterdam. Their names were inextricably linked with the construction of the sports facilities in Duisburg and Hamborn and with the reconstruction of the city theater after the First World War. The construction of the Sports Park Wedau (later Sports Park Duisburg) started in 1919 as did the gravel dredging for the boat race course. The stadium, the swimming pool and the lido were officially inaugurated in the mid-1920s. The sports facilities still see international championships today.

All three, Holke, Dieter and Pregizer, were employed as architects at the Municipal Building Department in Duisburg, and both were on the City Council at the Municipal Planning and Building Department in Duisburg. While in the German catalog only Holke and Pregizer are mentioned, the catalog of the exhibition in Amsterdam also mentions Dieter.
