Guided Story

As you stand before the Johanneskirche Manfort, notice the modern architectural style designed by Otto Bartning in 1954. This church was part of the post-war emergency church program and is now a protected monument. Look at the polygonal altar space, a distinctive feature that sets it apart from traditional church designs. The clean lines and striking facade are hallmarks of Bartning's work. Although it's no longer used for services, it remains a significant symbol of the post-war era. Turn around, and you'll see the municipal hospital of Leverkusen to the east, another notable building in this area.
