Guided Story
Standing here, you're witnessing a striking piece of modern architectural history. Designed in 1972 by Werner Düttmann, the St. Martin Church boldly uses exposed concrete, a hallmark of the Brutalist movement. Observe the clean lines and raw materiality that reflect post-war modernism. More than just a place of worship, this church is a listed heritage monument, celebrating the creative spirit of its time. Step back a bit, and you'll see the sharp contrasts and unadorned honesty of the architecture even more clearly. Just to the south, you might notice the Evangelical Apostel-Petrus Church, visible from here.
