Harald Gscheidle

Harald Gscheidle serves as an Honorary Professor of Structural Engineering in the Department of Urban Planning, Construction and Culture at Potsdam University of Applied Sciences, a position he has held since 2018 following his tenure as Lecturer in Structural Engineering from 2006 to 2017.

His professional development includes:

• 1984-1986: Specialist training in bricklaying trade
• 1987-1988: International travel as a practicing bricklayer
• 1988-1993: Civil Engineering studies at Technical University of Stuttgart

Professor Gscheidle's research integrates structural engineering principles with architectural design, emphasizing practical construction applications within urban environments. His unique expertise combines formal academic training with extensive hands-on experience in building trades, enabling him to address structural challenges in architectural contexts with practical solutions. This dual perspective informs his teaching approach in bridging theoretical engineering concepts with real-world construction constraints.
