Robert Krier, an internationally acclaimed architect, town planner, and sculptor from Luxembourg, has passed away at the age of 85.

A Grevenmacher native, Krier's architectural journey began with studies in Munich during the 1960s. His illustrious career included a professorship at the Technical University of Vienna and teaching at Yale University in the United States.

In the mid-1970s, he established his architecture firm in Vienna, later relocating to Berlin, where he collaborated with Christoph Kohl. In addition, he co-ran an architecture firm with Nicolas Lebunetel in Montpellier from 1992 to 2004.

Krier's bronze sculptures adorn significant locations, including Château Collart in Bettembourg and various sites in the Netherlands. Notably, the Cité judiciaire ("judiciary city") on Plateau du Saint-Esprit in Luxembourg City stands as a testament to his collaborative work with his brother, Léon Krier, marking a major contribution to Luxembourg's architectural landscape.

In recognition of his impactful contributions, Krier was appointed an honorary member of the Order of Architects and Consulting Engineers (OAI) at the Valentiny Foundation in Remerschen last May.

Rob Krier was the elder brother of fellow architect and town planner Léon Krier.
