St. Michael Schwanberg

St. Michael Schwanberg, Lutheran church in Rödelsee, Germany.

St. Michael Schwanberg is a church in Rödelsee with an almost square main nave flanked by two half-height side aisles that continue west past the entrance front into two meditation chapels. Between the stairways, water flows from the west apse into a basin. The church was built in 1986–1987 to plans by Alexander von Branca, and its interior holds a Rieger organ from 1993 with 17 registers on two manuals and pedal.

The building was constructed between 1986 and 1987 following designs by architect Alexander von Branca and was consecrated on May 24, 1987. This made it a new Lutheran place of worship built in the postwar modern style.

The church is the order church of the Evangelical Lutheran Communität Casteller Ring and the church of the Geistliches Zentrum on the Schwanberg. Its form draws on Old Testament descriptions of the Temple and on the New Jerusalem of the Book of Revelation. A Celtic cross before the south chapel is the community's sign, and icons inside set ecumenical accents.

The church stands on the Schwanberg above Rödelsee. The main nave is nearly square, with two half-height side aisles leading west past the portal front into two meditation chapels; water flows from the west conch into a basin between the stairways. A cloister adjoins the south side, and the Rieger organ from 1993 is set into the north side of the interior.

The granite altar rests on eight bronze cherubs, with the stone coming from a quarry connected to the Flossenbürg concentration camp. This altar thus links contemporary craftsmanship with a difficult historical past.
