Querfeldeins

What Querfeldeins does

Querfeldeins (legally Partnerschaftsgesellschaft von Landschaftsarchitekten, Stadtplanern und Architekten Grosskopf-Stöcker-Fischer mbB) is a private, founder-owned interdisciplinary design firm headquartered in Dresden, Germany, founded in 2013 by Annegret Stöcker, Frank Großkopf, and Daniel Stöcker-Fischer. The firm operates as a single integrated practice combining landscape architecture, urban planning (Städtebau), and architecture, allowing it to deliver projects across all HOAI Leistungsphasen 1–9 from master planning through construction supervision. Its core technical differentiator is a domain specialization in blue-green infrastructure and climate-adaptive sponge-city (Schwammstadt) design, repeatedly applied across residential, civic, park, campus, memorial, and infrastructure projects using retention basins, bioswales, mulden systems, and Stockholm-model tree trenches. The firm self-describes as "Ihr Team für die blau-grüne Stadt" and integrates citizen participation processes (e.g., carolaVOTE for the Carolabrücke Dresden) into its delivery workflow.
