Guided Story

Can you feel the light dancing as you step inside? Look up — the clean architectural lines guide your gaze, almost like a modern path to the heavens. Designed in the early '90s by Gerhard Hauss, this church isn't just a story of a decade; it's a sanctuary for inner reflection. The light streaming through the large windows creates a quiet connection between the outer world and this sacred space. Turn around and observe the façade — it's like a canvas, painting a new picture with each ray of sun. As the Ernst-Walz-Brücke spans the river to the south, here, all remains calm, as though the world outside has paused for a moment. You might even hear the gentle echo of your footsteps on the floor.
