Hansjörg Göritz was born in 1959 in Hannover, Germany, into a family tradition of master craftsmen. Growing up in the vernacular context of Lower Saxony, his father taught him the art of building crafts. After his Baccalaureate, working as a carpenter, earning a Fellow Craft Mason diploma as best of the guild, in conjunction with an evening master school for masons, he intended to travel as a guilds journeyman. Applied studies intervene, and while apprenticing in the studio of mentors Peter Hübotter and Lambertus Ledeboer, he makes his Grand Tours d'Orient to Italy and Greece. Despite being selected into the HDK Berlin School of Arts, he completed his self education in professional studies.
