Sankt Ignatius

As you stand before this remarkable structure, St. Ignatius showcases the bold features of Brutalist architecture with its stark lines and robust concrete forms. Designed by the renowned architect Gottfried Böhm and consecrated in 1964, it stands out distinctly from its surroundings. Moving closer, you can appreciate the sculptural elements and the raw texture of the concrete, hallmarks of this architectural style. Originally established as a parish church, it now serves as a rectorate church for the Cathedral Parish of St. Bartholomew. A place that blends history with deep-rooted religious tradition. Take in the quiet ambiance, and notice the nearby cultural landmarks like the Amerika-Haus and Instituto Cervantes just to the west.
