Georg Holke

German architects Georg Holke, Hermann Dieter and Karl Pregizer submitted the work Stadion und Wassersport-Anlagen Duisburg (Stadium and Watersports Facilities in Duisburg) to the 1928 Art Competitions in Amsterdam. The construction of the Sports Park Wedau (later Sports Park Duisburg) started in 1919 as did the gravel dredging for the boat race course. The stadium, the swimming pool and the lido were officially inaugurated in the mid-1920s.

All three, Holke, Dieter and Pregizer, were employed as architects at the Municipal Building Department in Duisburg, and both were on the City Council at the Municipal Planning and Building Department in Duisburg.

Holke studied in Berlin-Charlottenburg and then served as a soldier in World War I. From 1930-56 he was a technical councilor in Duisburg. His main works included the construction of the public bathing beach, the stadium in Duisburg-Wedau, the indoor aquatic centre in Hamborn, and the municipal theatre. In the 1928 official list of artists, Holke’s name was missing.
