The Cathedral of Saint Mary of Neviges in North Rhine-Westphalia is Gottfried Böhm's most famous work. People have mocked the church, calling it the "Bensberg Acropolis" and "Monkey Rock". Now the first German architect to have won the Pritzker Prize celebrates his 100th birthday.

Gottfried Böhm (born January 23, 1920) is a German architect and sculptor. His reputation is based on creating highly sculptural buildings made of concrete, steel, and glass. Böhm's first independent building was the Cologne chapel "Madonna in the rubble"; his most important building is the Nevigeser Wallfahrtsdom.
The most recent completed construction under Böhm's participation is the Hans Otto Theater in Potsdam (2006). In 1986 he became the first German architect to be awarded the prestigious Pritzker Prize.
