Guided Story

Look up at that striking cross-shaped tower reaching for the sky. It's quite something, isn't it? Did you know that when the Epiphaniaskirche was built in the 1960s, it was a bold architectural statement? Brutalism was still fairly new back then, known for its stark lines and raw aesthetic. The architects aimed not just to construct a church but to symbolize a new beginning. Take a few steps back and admire the structure. The contrast between the concrete and the surrounding nature creates a unique atmosphere of tranquility. And if you listen closely, you might just hear the echoes of the community that has gathered here for decades.
