Guided Story
As you stand here, take a moment to observe the play of light and shadow on the church's modern facade. Look up, the freestanding bell tower rises gracefully into the sky. Hansrudolf Plarre, the architect, aimed to express a modern spirituality with the building's clean lines and open spaces. Listen closely, and you might imagine the gentle sound of bells that have accompanied the community since 1964. Behind you, across the street, is the parish house, built a few years before the church. It tells of the growing community here in Charlottenburg-Nord. Take a moment to soak in the tranquility this place offers, right in the heart of a bustling neighborhood.
