Guided Story
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine the echoes of the past resonating within these walls. Now, open them and take in the dramatic lines and bold shapes that are so characteristic of Expressionism. Built in the late 1920s, this church once served as a sanctuary during turbulent times. Picture the solace and hope people found here as the world around them changed. Architect Felix Sturm envisioned a structure that still stands strong today. Look up and admire the details of the vault, each telling a story from another era. And if you listen closely, you might just hear the whispers of prayers once spoken here.
