About the Office
Hermanns + [k] Architekten bda dwb is an architecture office based in Bonn, led by Dipl. Ing. Susanne Klösges (architect bda) and Prof. Dipl. Ing. Hannes Hermanns (architect dwb). The focus of the work lies on church construction and liturgical redesign, illumination of sacred spaces as well as conversion, renovation and change of use of church and parish rooms. In addition, the office handles public buildings such as town halls, libraries, parish halls, kindergartens and elderly care homes as well as residential buildings. The services include competitions, design development and construction planning through to realization, frequently in working partnerships with other architecture offices. The project list includes work from 1999 to 2025, among others at St. Paulus Cathedral in Münster (illumination, 1st prize), at the High Cathedral of Aachen (new illumination, 1st prize) and the transformation of the Liebfrauenkirche Goch into a museum, library and neighbourhood centre.
