Heilig-Geist-Kirche, Lutheran church in Wiesbaden, Germany
Heilig-Geist-Kirche is a church building in Wiesbaden with a distinctive parabolic shape and curved concrete facade. The interior combines white concrete elements with colored glass windows and accommodates roughly 280 visitors.
The building was completed in 1961 in response to Wiesbaden's population growth after World War II. It was architect Herbert Rimpl's second church project, establishing new standards with this modern design approach.
The name refers to the Holy Spirit and defines the place's religious meaning for the Lutheran community. The interior artistic design creates a connection between modern architecture and spiritual experience.
The building is open to visitors and serves as a site for services, weddings, and community gatherings. It is advisable to check opening hours beforehand, as this space primarily functions as an active community center.
The unusual parabolic form emerged from the idea of making optimal use of limited space for the church interior. This geometry also affects the acoustics and creates a distinctive quality to the space when exploring inside.
