Guided Story

Can you feel the tranquility enveloping you here? Look around and notice how the clean lines of the church reach up to the sky. Behind you to the south is the former gravel pit by Südring, now a little slice of nature in the city. This church you see is a symbol of hope and rebuilding after the war. Designed by Otto Bartning, it was part of the emergency church program. Imagine people gathering here in the 1950s, seeking comfort in times of change. The building’s simple elegance invites you to pause for a moment and feel the connection between past and present.
