Nella ricostruzione di Monaco di Baviera nel secondo dopoguerra, tra gli architetti impegnati nella ricostruzione Josef Wiedemann è tra i più convincenti esponenti di una nuova via di operare sui monumenti feriti dalla guerra, che partendo dall'opera di Hans Dollgast traccia una via inedita di conservazione "viva" dell'esistente.

Abstract

World War II introduced into reality a brutality that marked a deep change in the idea of memory and of preservation as well: before that was quite difficult to imagine how it would have disfigured the face of German cities. Germany has a great importance on the one hand for the theoretical thinking on restoration, on the other, for the idea of preservation of heritage which changes significantly between the Federal Republic of Germany (West) from the German Democratic Republic (East) . In West Germany, Bavaria develops since 1945 peculiar way of reconstruction, showing a constant balance between technological innovation and the preservation: the works of the architect Josef Wiedemann (1910-2001) in the center of Munich represents a considerable example. The architect is responsible for the recontruction of some significant buildings in Munich, addressing them as a fundamental theme in the history and identity of the Bavarian people, but above all as an opportunity to define a method of intervention on the ruins of war. His work is characterized by the constant investigation for a synthesis between the need of the preservation of heritage and the innovation.
