PROJECT DETAILS

Carl-Herbert Frowein / Eberhard Holstein: Dietrich Bonhöffer Church, 1964C–1967

  • Stuttgart, Germany, Show on map
  • #REL #CastInPlaceConcrete #Monolith #Western Europe
  • Fair-faced concrete slabs, offset, overlapping, form the façade of the church on a rectangular floor plan. A sculptural relief draws attention to itself: a composition of linear forms by Hans-Dieter Bohnet penetrates the wall and is visible inside and outside. Bands of light divide the façade horizontally across the corners, but also vertically between the individual concrete slabs. The freestanding church tower consists of concrete slabs as well.

  • The building was supposed to be demolished, but due to its qualities it was declared as listed building in 2006.
