Heiner Schreml passed away.
In the picturesque town of Weiden, Germany, the name Heiner Schreml is synonymous with architectural excellence. Graduating from the Technical University of Munich in 1962, Schreml embarked on his professional journey, establishing his own practice in 1966.
Throughout his career, Schreml has left an indelible mark on the region, with his architectural works adorning Weiden and various other areas, such as Nuremberg, Mannheim, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Münster, Cologne, and even southern India. His distinctive style is most evident in the Tohuwabohou children's house and the Woerhl building at the Lower Market.
Schreml's portfolio encompasses a wide range of projects, from contemporary residential architecture to smaller-scale public and commercial buildings, all characterised by an integration of modern design with the local context and the incorporation of sustainable and innovative design principles. Some urban planning and development projects around Weiden, aiming to revitalize city areas with functional and aesthetic improvements, are also part of his repertoire.
While a detailed, comprehensive list of Schreml's completed and unrealized projects may not be widely published, we have compiled a summary based on available information. This includes his work on residential buildings in Weiden, public and commercial buildings, and urban development projects. It is also possible that Schreml may have proposed several speculative or competition-based projects that did not come to fruition, often aiming at innovative solutions in urban environments or residential designs.
For those seeking a more comprehensive list, including exact project names, years, descriptions, and images, consulting architectural databases like Architektenkammer Bayern, or visiting regional architectural archives or Schreml's professional website (if available) would be necessary.
Meanwhile, in other parts of Germany, news abounds. Munich residents enjoy swimming in the Isar river, while the Main and Danube rivers are also popular for swimming. In Gebenbach, a location not specified, the district heating network has been completed, aiming to set an example for sustainable energy use. However, it is not yet clear what the benefits of this network are for the agricultural, local craft, and regional value chain, or for sports and senior groups like the Tirchenreuth Gymnastics Club's senior group, who meet weekly for activities like cycling and Nordic walking.
Elsewhere, the Music House Zölch in Wondreb has been successful in instrument sales for nearly 50 years, attributing its success to good service, trusting relationships, and word-of-mouth advertising. In a unique turn of events, Josef-Johann Wieder, a renowned architect in Weiden, made headlines for his unconventional mayoral candidacy in 1995, which included a trampoline performance and a pillory occupation. Despite his public appearances and theatrical projects, Wieder had a considerable professional record, completing approximately 700 "construction tasks" over his career.

People in Gebenbach, perhaps a nearby location, engage in various sports, such as cycling and Nordic walking, but the impact of the recently completed district heating network on these activities, as well as senior groups and the agricultural, local craft, and regional value chain, remains unclear. Contrastingly, the Tohuwabohou children's house and the Woerhl building at the Lower Market in Weiden, designed by Heiner Schreml, provide a stunning example of his architectural works, which fuse modern design with the local context and incorporate sustainable and innovative elements, even in the realm of grazing lands.
