| Discussion | Wolfsburg Parish Church Commentary
“The church buildings are situated in the middle of a residential development on the edge of a green-belt area. The group consists of three separate buildings. The church and parish hall are disposed around a square and thus constitute the principal element; the third building includes accommodation for the clergy and clubrooms and facilities for young people. The square is closed off on the side facing on to the road and on this side stands the open belfry The church square is connected to the adjacent park by a narrow passageway.” — Karl Fleig. Alvar Aalto. p166. Details The church was designed 1959 and built 1960 to 1962. | |
