Guided Story
Take a look at the distinctive architecture crafted by Gottfried Böhm. St. Hildegardis Chapel, constructed between 1962 and 1970, stands as a notable example of modern architecture. The exposed concrete gives the chapel its angular shape, which you can see all around. A unique feature is the bell gable that breaks the otherwise clean lines of the structure. This chapel shares stylistic traits with the much larger Neviges Pilgrimage Church, another masterpiece by Böhm. Turn to the east, and you'll spot the nearby St. Matthäus Church.
