Corvinuskirche, Modern church building in Herrenhausen-Stöcken, Germany
Description
The Corvinuskirche is a modern church building with a pentagonal footprint and a 35-meter-tall bell tower in Hannover. The structure combines exposed concrete, brick walls, and dark slate roofing into a distinctive mid-century design.
History
Architect Roderich Schröder designed this Lutheran church between 1960 and 1962, embodying post-war German religious architecture. The building lost its congregation following a parish merger in 2006 and now holds protected monument status.
Culture
The church interior accommodated 350 people with strategically arranged pews, centered around a sandstone altar that emphasized community congregation.
Practical
The building is now closed to the public but can be viewed from the outside to appreciate its modern design language. The site sits in a quiet residential neighborhood and is easily accessible on foot.
Did you know?
The roof is rotated 36 degrees from the building's floor plan, creating an unusual relationship between eaves and walls. This geometric quirk makes it a notable example of experimental post-war architecture.
