Karl Pregizer

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. Pregizer was a technical councilor from 1910-30. In 1920, the increase in service transactions made it necessary, to separate the Municipal Planning and Building Departments. Pregizer remained with the Department of Building Construction.

Pregizer studied architecture, was active in Berlin, Stuttgart, Duisburg and Kiel, and was a member of the “Deutscher Werkbund e. V.” in Duisburg. In Duisburg his main works included the construction of the municipal theatre and the sports facilities in Duisburg-Wedau.
