Franz Lichtblau

In addition, he undertook numerous monumental renovations in Nördlingen, Memmingen, Lindau, Schweinfurt and Amberg. In partnership with Ludwig J. Bauer (1929–2003), social buildings, kindergartens, student residences, facilities for the disabled, old people's and nursing homes, residential buildings, city extensions as well as industrial and commercial buildings were also built. Lichtblau often worked together with the church painter Hubert Distler. In addition to Olaf Andreas Gulbransson, Gustav Gsaenger and Reinhard Riemerschmid, who died at an early age, Lichtblau had a decisive influence on Protestant church architecture in Bavaria in the second half of the 20th century. Many of the churches that Lichtblau created are built over a polygonal ground plan. Most of them have a freestanding tower.
