Description
Even though the first or even second view won't let one think so, this is the "Maria-Magdalena"-Church in Freiburg, in the city"quarter" Rieselfeld (Germany) - without the coss on the outer wall I would never have guessed it.That church is in fact two churches in one - the catholic and the evangelical church share the building. They are seperated by a wall that can be (re)moved for joined ecumenical service.
Building was started in 2002 and finished 2004.
It is not really a beauty with all those concrete walls, but it offers interesting views (one of the entrance area I have already posted here: [link]
++++
This photo is a 3-shot panorama, as one has to get relatively close to it if you don't want small trees to clutter the front and hide a part of the building.

Was mir gefällt ist, dass es eine gemeinsame Kirche ist und dass man die Schiebetüre für ökumenische Gottesdienste aufmachen kann. Wäre schön, wenn man sie irgendwann mal ganz weglassen könnte. Allerdings find ich den Betonkasten an sich eher abweisend, er erinnert mich an einen Bunker, in den man sich zurückzieht um sich vor Angriffen zu schützen. Ich wünsch mir da eher eine offene und einladende Kirche ...
Das Foto ist toll, vor allem der Kontrast zwischen dem Beton und dem tiefblauen Himmel ist wunderschön!

Vielen Dank für den detailierten Kommentar.
Was das bunkerhafte der Kirche angeht stimme ich dir zu, die offizielle Version ist übrigens, daß die nach oben "offenen" (da nach außen geneigten) Wände Offenheit darstellen sollen

I don't like it all that much, but it is very interesting at the same time.
