Auferstehungskirche

Auferstehungskirche is a church building in Pforzheim featuring concrete and glass construction that shapes the interior spaces. Large windows allow daylight to flow throughout the building and create bright conditions inside.

Architect Otto Bartning designed this building in Pforzheim's post-World War II reconstruction period and completed it in 1960. It was built as part of the city's renewal efforts following the war.

The church functions as a community space for worship, musical performances, and cultural events today. Visitors experience a modern prayer house that consciously breaks from traditional church designs and welcomes diverse gatherings.

The building is centrally located in Pforzheim and is accessible to visitors who want to explore the architecture. Regular services and events take place where visitors can participate.

The building displays geometric patterns in its concrete structure that represent a conscious break from traditional church designs. This minimalist approach to the facade and interior differs noticeably from older churches in the region.
