“György Leh...oczky (born August 30, 1901 in Vihnyepeszerény, Austria-Hungary, died January 16, 1979 in Saarbrücken) was a Hungarian-German architect and church window painter.
As a child of Hungarian parents, György Lehoczky was born in today's Slovakia. The family moved first in 1910/1911 in the free city Fiume (now Rijeka), then in the Hungarian-Croatian Zagreb, where it remained until the collapse of the Danube Monarchy. After fleeing to Hungary Lehoczky studied architecture at the Technical University of Budapest from 1921 to 1927. For four years he worked as an architect in the employment relationship or as an assistant at the university, since 1931 he worked independently in Budapest. During this time he participated in 95 architectural competitions, of which he received the first prize at 32.
In 1945 he fled to Vorarlberg and was temporarily active as the artistic director of a ceramics factory. In 1947 Lehoczky came, one year later his family to Saarbrücken. Since he got no work permit as a stateless foreigner, he worked as a freelance artist. It was not until 1955 that he was naturalized in Saarland, which was not yet part of the Federal Republic of Germany; In 1967 he received German citizenship. From 1956 to 1965 he also taught at the Technical Higher Education Saarbrücken, which today known as The University of Applied Sciences Saarland.Lehoczky's work is divided into two phases: during the Hungarian years (1931 to 1945), his architectural work predominates. His office in Budapest consisted of ten employees at times. Lehoczky built residential houses, factories and trade fair buildings in Germany and abroad, but also railway stations and two aircraft factories for the Messerschmitt works, also six churches, a high school with boarding school and designed a complete health resort. He was also involved in monument preservation work at the Budapest Castle.In the second, the Saarbrücken period, Lehoczky first sought new tasks, from which new forms of expression developed. His most important church buildings include two monasteries: In Bous György Lehoczky built the Redemptorist monastery Heiligenborn. At a legendary source of saints, at the beginning of the 1940s, a National Socialist youth hostel was started with Thingstätte, built from 1949 to 1952 a monastery. The convent buildings were designed using the executed older construction elements and made very simple. Lehoczky planned and built the monastery church and large parts of the interior. In nearby Püttlingen construction began on a Redemptorist monastery in 1955; The abbey church is designed with two naves in lay and sister ship over corner.The focus of his work in that second period of his work, however, were his magnificent glass windows, which can be found in numerous churches in Saarland, but also other public and private buildings and also outside of the Saarland.Federal President Theodor Heuss was also present at the inauguration of the stained glass windows in the Saarbrücken collegiate church of St. Arnual and honored the artist on this occasion.In addition to the works mentioned below, Lehoczky created a large number of paintings, drawings and works of art that are now privately owned. Windows and murals for private homes are also known.”
