Guided Story
Standing here, you can almost feel the weight of history in the air. Look at the towering brickwork; it tells a story of resilience and renewal. Despite being gutted by fire during the war, this church rose again like a phoenix, its exterior as striking as ever. If you glance upwards, you’ll notice the sharp geometric lines that define its expressionist style, a hallmark of the 1930s. Imagine the architects Fritz Höger and Ossip Klarwein, envisioning this bold structure amidst the challenges of their time. Just behind you, the Gänseliesel Fountain adds a touch of whimsy, a gentle counterpoint to the church's monumental presence.
