Statio Dominus Mundi

Statio Dominus Mundi is a religious structure in Illingen defined by bold wall surfaces and substantial natural stone materials assembled into a geometric form. The interior layout guides movement and focus through careful spatial arrangement without visual clutter from outside.

Architect Alexander von Branca designed this building after establishing his Munich-based practice in the early 1950s during Germany's post-war rebuilding years. The project reflects architectural thinking of that reconstruction period.

The name refers to a theological concept made visible through the spatial design and geometric clarity of the structure. Visitors can perceive how the building's form and arrangement express this spiritual intention.

The building is easily visible and accessible on foot from the town surroundings. The interior experience is best appreciated by taking time to observe how the space is organized without rushing through it.

The building channels natural light through carefully positioned openings in the walls, causing the interior to shift in tone and quality as hours pass. This dynamic play of light is central to how the space functions rather than merely decorative.
