St. Hildegardis, Modern concrete chapel in Garath, Germany
St. Hildegardis is a modern concrete chapel in Garath, part of a retirement home complex in Düsseldorf. The building displays geometric forms created through red brick and exposed concrete surfaces.
Architect Gottfried Böhm designed this chapel between 1962 and 1970 as part of the Civic Centre Garath project. The building emerged from a larger urban development plan for the district.
The chapel provides religious services to retirement home residents while incorporating design elements that reference medieval castle architecture.
The chapel is accessible for daily prayer and regular services within the retirement home complex. The location is easily reached by bus and offers nearby parking.
The chapel sits on a raised base platform, giving it a commanding presence within the complex. This elevation makes the building architecturally distinct and visually prominent from the surrounding area.
