St. Andreas, Modern parish church in Neuhausen, Munich, Germany.
Description
St. Andreas is a modern parish church in Munich's Neuhausen district, distinguished by a separate 37-meter tower and a main structure built with a steel frame and glass walls. The building combines contemporary architectural design with clean geometric forms throughout.
History
The original structure was built in 1890 and underwent reconstruction between 1948 and 1951 following damage during World War II. A fire in 1994 prompted additional restoration work that shaped the building's current appearance.
Culture
The interior is centered on a wooden cube that serves as the focal point for worship and prayer. The Stations of the Cross appear as black and white photographs, offering a contemporary take on traditional religious imagery.
Practical
The church has two smaller doors at the main entrance for regular visits, while larger blue glass gates are reserved for major religious celebrations. It is best to check opening times beforehand and be respectful if services are taking place.
Did you know?
The main gates feature two layers of blue glass that reveal a cross pattern when light shines through them, outlined by white nails. These nails form biblical narratives, merging the building's contemporary design with spiritual symbolism in an understated way.
