Architecture with Expression and Attitude
The church was designed by Hans Joachim Lohmeyer in 1966. Its distinctive triangular shape, clear lines, and modern design shape the impression of a place that connects history and the present. Thus, the church space becomes a resonance space for religious experience and contemporary art.
