Christi Auferstehung

Christi Auferstehung is a church built from reddish brick and concrete with an irregular polygonal design and a slender spiral stair tower at its northwest corner. The interior features curved walls and concrete columns that support a vaulted ceiling above the altar area.

The church was built between 1968 and 1970 to replace an earlier structure from 1934 that was severely damaged during bombing in 1944. The congregation had already formed in 1920, long before this replacement building was constructed.

The interior spaces incorporate curving walls and dedicated areas for liturgical activities, supported by concrete columns that lead to a vaulted ceiling above the altar.

The church sits at the end of a small canal lined with mature trees and is easily reached on foot. This location provides a quiet setting where visitors and congregation members can gather together.

The windows are tinted a dark blood-red colour that filters natural light into the interior in a distinctive way. The perforated brick walls simultaneously create acoustic effects and visual patterns that enhance how the space feels.
