Encouraging scholarship
and research
Helmut Hentrich Foundation
The Helmut Hentrich Foundation was established in 2001 by Prof. Dr. Helmut Hentrich, himself a Schinkel Prize winner and founder of the architectural partnership HPP Architects.
The Helmut Hentrich Foundation is committed to supporting particularly talented architecture students "who are to be enabled to visit architecturally significant buildings by the granting of travel scholarships". The scholarship supports young graduates in gaining a better understanding of the globalized world, in order to implement and expand it architecturally.
The Board of Trustees of the Helmut Hentrich Foundation awards a travel scholarship worth 5,000 euros in recognition of outstanding final projects in the field of architecture.
The prizewinners will keep a sketchbook during their trip, which will remain in the Foundation's collection after their return. In 2018, the scholarship was awarded to graduates of Leibniz Universität Hannover and Universität der Künste Berlin. It was the first year in which the prize went to Bachelor students - until 2017 it was awarded exclusively to Master and Diploma graduates.
The scholarship holders are selected by HPP-independent juries and in close cooperation with chairs at recognised universities.
In 2018, the Helmut Hentrich Foundation Prize was awarded for the twelfth time. Since 2012 we have been cooperating with the media partners of Bauwelt and DBZ Deutsche Bauzeitschrift.

The Winners
In 2018, Luise von Zimmermann and Jonas Illigmann (Universität der Künste Berlin) with their jointly submitted work "New Density" and Matti Hänsch (Leibniz Universität Hannover) with his work "ZEN Palermo" will receive the two travel scholarships of the Helmut-Hentrich Foundation Prize, each endowed with 5,000 euros. Matthias Pabst (Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg) receives recognition for his work "Gasthof am Fluss".
On behalf of this year's jury and the Board of Trustees of the Helmut Hentrich Foundation, jury chair Prof. Barbara Holzer, design professor at Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences, and Gerhard G. Feldmeyer, managing partner of HPP Architects, presented the certificates to the three prize winners at the award ceremony at HPP's Düsseldorf headquarters.
The jury session and review of the submissions took place at the beginning of June. In addition to the chairman Prof. Barbara Holzer, the jury consisted of Belinda Rukschcio, Bundesstiftung Baukultur, Prof. Kirsten Schemel, Münster School of Architecture, Boris Schade-Bünsow, editor-in-chief Bauwelt, Burkhard Fröhlich, former editor-in-chief DBZ Deutsche Bauzeitschrift and HPP partner Antonino Vultaggio (without voting rights). They discussed and evaluated the drafts together on the basis of the submitted plans.
