Guided Story

You're standing before the Kreuzkirche, a remarkable example of post-war architecture. The church was designed by Gustav Gsaenger and was inaugurated in 1959. Notice the clear, geometric lines characteristic of the 1950s style. This Protestant church isn't just a place of worship; it tells a story of destruction and rebuilding, as the original church was completely destroyed during World War II. From here, you can also spot the Filmladen to the northwest, another cultural landmark in the area. Take a moment to appreciate the serene atmosphere and the rich history captured within these walls.
