Profile

kister scheithauer gross architects and urban planners’ key interest is an in-depth discourse with place and typology. We transform abstract visions into sound architecture that strengthens context and site.

kister scheithauer & Partner evolved of an affiliation of young Cologne architects founded by Prof. Johannes Kister und Reinhard Scheithauer in 1992. Since 1997 Prof. Susanne Gross is the third supporting member of the partnership kister scheithauer gross. Since 2006 the office runs as Ltd under management of Reinhard Scheithauer; and we are pleased to have Steffen Kühn und Eric Mertens on board as additional management partners since 2008.

Our work scope ranges from architectural planning and realization to urban planning as well as surveying work. Being active as general planners and traditional architects throughout all work phases we run a nationally and internationally successful practice since nearly 20 years. With a team of approximately 50 people we currently run the office from our two locations in Cologne and Leipzig.
