Born in Bamberg in 1958, he has built a distinguished career spanning both academic scholarship and practical heritage conservation, with particular expertise in cultural landscape research and urban heritage preservation. His professional journey uniquely combines long-term government service at the Bavarian State Office for Historic Preservation (1988-2024) with academic contributions since 1996, creating a valuable bridge between theoretical understanding and on-the-ground conservation practice. University of Bamberg - Honorary Professor (2022-present) Bavarian State Office for Historic Preservation - Department Head (1988-2024) Master's Program in Heritage Conservation - Lecturer (1996-present) University of Coburg - Lecturer (1996-present) Gunzelmann studied geography, history and administration at universities in Bamberg, Braunschweig and Bayreuth, completing his doctoral thesis in 1987 on 'The preservation of the historical cultural landscape.' This foundational work established his lifelong research trajectory at the intersection of historical geography and practical conservation. His academic credentials are complemented by deep practical experience, particularly through his leadership of the 'Großinventar Bamberg' project documenting Bamberg's urban heritage. His research focuses on the theory and practice of cultural landscape research, with particular emphasis on urban heritage conservation, settlement patterns (especially rural settlements), historical cultural landscapes for leisure and recovery, and the spatial impact of monuments. Gunzelmann's work consistently explores the relationship between cultural landscape preservation and contemporary challenges including urban development, energy infrastructure, and community engagement. His publications reveal a methodological evolution from traditional historical-geographical approaches to incorporating digital tools like GIS for heritage site analysis, demonstrating his adaptability to emerging technologies in conservation practice. Gunzelmann's scholarly output shows remarkable thematic consistency while adapting to contemporary challenges in heritage conservation. His publications demonstrate expertise across multiple dimensions - from theoretical frameworks for understanding cultural landscapes to practical guides for municipal heritage management. Particularly notable is his work on the 'Kommunales Denkmalkonzept' (Municipal Heritage Concept), which represents a significant contribution to practical heritage management frameworks. His research also shows increasing attention to interdisciplinary approaches connecting geography, history, architecture, and urban planning to create holistic understandings of cultural landscapes.

His practical impact extends through frameworks adopted by municipalities and conservation authorities, particularly in Bavaria. His work demonstrates how academic research can directly inform and improve conservation practice, creating a valuable feedback loop between theory and application. Gunzelmann has been actively involved with various research teams and projects related to cultural landscape documentation and analysis. His collaborations with colleagues like Armin Röhrer on the historical cultural landscapes of Bamberg showcase his team-based research approach. The 'Kulturlandschaftsstationen' project in the Fladung Rhön region exemplifies his commitment to creating practical tools for cultural landscape interpretation. His recent website updates indicate ongoing engagement with digital methodologies for heritage site analysis, particularly through QGIS applications.
