Gottfried Böhm Scholarship 2025/2026

Purpose: The Gottfried Böhm Fellowship supports postgraduate architects who are particularly interested in the connection between architecture and urbanism.

Task: The Fellow has the opportunity to work for one year on creative and visionary tasks in the fields of architecture and urbanism for Cologne (Köln) and its suburbs.

Fellowship benefits: the Fellow receives: a one-year residency fellowship in Cologne, Germany, free accommodation, a monthly stipend of 2,500 euro, a workspace in a professional architectural environment, a professional tutor for the duration of the one-year residency.

Background: Gottfried Böhm is one of the most internationally renowned German architects. His architectural work is an essential component of German Modernism and is emblematic for democratic Germany in the 20th century. He is the first and so far only German to receive the Pritzker Prize for Architecture, awarded in 1986 for his significant contributions to architecture. The mayor of Cologne, Henriette Reker, proposed the idea of the scholarship to mark the 100th anniversary of the architect's birth in 2020.
