Reinhard Riemerschmid: Kapernaum Church, 1966C–1968

  • Munich, Germany, Show on map
  • #REL #Western Europe
  • The pyramid-shaped Evangelical Lutheran church forms an ensemble with a separately standing church tower and a parish hall that directly connects to the commercial centre of the neighbourhood and opens up to a park on the west side. The church hall is covered by a tent-shaped roof clad in copper and lined with wood. Large windows and light bands illuminate the room. The seats are arranged in a circle around the altar zone. At 44 m, the parish hall is as wide as the church tower is high. For structural reasons, the church tower does not contain bells.

  • Heritage protected since 2014. In use (last updated on September 26, 2024).
