Gemeindezentrum Paul Schneider, Weimar

Gemeindezentrum Paul Schneider is a religious community center in Weimar with church facilities and community spaces combined in one building. The interior layout can be reconfigured using movable walls to serve different purposes and group sizes.

Construction started in 1986 during the East German period under a special church building program that allowed religious facilities to be built in new residential areas. The bell tower was added later as a separate structure alongside the main complex.

The center serves as a gathering place for different groups, from music ensembles to discussion circles that meet regularly here. Visitors notice how people use the spaces to connect and spend time together.

The center is located at Moskauer Strasse 1a and can be easily accessed. Visitors will find meeting rooms, worship spaces, and residential areas for clergy and staff members.

The bell tower was initially rejected but was finally added in 1998 as a separate standing structure that now defines the complex's appearance. This unusual solution makes the construction style recognizable and gives the site its present character.
