Dreieinigkeitskirche, Modern church in Gropiusstadt, Germany
The Dreieinigkeitskirche is a modern church building in Gropiusstadt with three distinctive roof peaks and a hexagonal floor plan. The concrete structure features balconies integrated into the walls, which allow the interior to serve multiple purposes.
Construction of the church began in 1969 after architect Reinhold Barwich won a design competition to address the growing congregation's needs. The project responded to the rapid growth of the new residential area and its population demands.
The building serves as a space for worship, community gatherings, and artistic performances, with the altar positioned in the central area. Local residents use the venue regularly for events and cultural programs.
The facility houses a daycare center and serves as a distribution point for food assistance through the organization Laib und Seele. Visitors should be aware that the space serves multiple functions and is used differently at various times.
The building uses specially engineered cable net structures developed under the guidance of renowned architect Frei Otto. These innovative systems demonstrate an experimental approach to church design during the 1970s.
