Barbara Schock-Werner (born 23 July 1947, Ludwigsburg) is a German architect, and was until her retirement end of August 2012 the master builder at Cologne Cathedral with overall responsibility for conservation and restoration work.

[1][2] After an apprenticeship as a draftsman in Bad Cannstatt, Schock-Werner studied architecture at the University of Applied Sciences in Stuttgart, graduating in 1971.

During her studies, she spent almost a year working with Frei Otto on the design of the roofing for the Olympic Stadium in Munich.

Part of her time was spent at the cathedral itself where she carried out inspections and gives instructions to the painters, electricians, carpenters and bricklayers.
