Here he received his first art lessons from Gottlieb murder Mueller, who eventually encouraged him to study at the Berlin Art Academy . The example of Brunswick Winner experienced but also the destruction of a city that for him the dramatic experience: "The apocalyptic destruction of the cities in the 2nd World War I left for my generation was a formative experience, the deep scars in the soul. In the memory overlay images of destruction and regeneration of urban spaces. "Cities have always been a Flux. Brunswick is just a good example. From the capital city of Henry the Lion in Brunswick has developed into a confident Hanseatic city, which pushed back the duke's presence, and demonstrated their own power in magnificent buildings, as they are today at the City Market. As Brunswick at the end of the 17th Century seat of the duchy was again, again a large-scale urban transformation. The most significant changes eventually brought the 20 Century. Initially, the city has gradually evolved into an industrial city, without losing its character as a medieval half-timbered town, which ended only in the bombing 14 and 15 October 1944 based. The reconstruction after the war was the loss the hard way. Still, it was able to make the concept of "islands of tradition" the character of the old city at least experienced - until now. Cities are subject to constant change process. Work Gerd Winners follow these changes very carefully. Winner of the City of Brunswick has always been the reference point of his work.
