Kirchenstandort Witzhelden

The new community centre forms an inviting ensemble alongside the historically significant church and vicarage buildings. With its height and placement, the new structure respects and gives prominence to the historic church. By skillfully integrating the natural topography, new open spaces are created, offering versatile uses.

A barrier-free, cohesive architectural concept has been developed, bringing together the key areas of use: church space, community life with children’s and youth work, and administration. The church is seamlessly connected to the new green square through carefully selected materials, garden walls, and the new community centre, creating a unified and recognizable whole.
