Herbert Hirche was born on 20 May 1910 in Görlitz and died on 28 January 2002 in Heidelberg. From 1930 to 1933, he studied at the Bauhaus in Dessau and Berlin, including under Kandinsky and Mies. He subsequently worked in Mies’s Berlin office (1934–1938), with Egon Eiermann (1939–1945) and with Hans Scharoun.
In 1948, he became a professor at Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee, and from 1952 to 1975 he was a professor at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart. In the late 1950s, he designed radiograms for Braun, working with Hans Gugelot. His work was shown at the Milan Triennale (1957), Expo 58 and documenta III (1964); he was commemorated on a postage stamp in 1999.
