liebfrauenkirche duisburg // duisburg mitte

architect: toni hermanns

relief on the front facade: "moses und der brennende dornbusch" karl heinz türk

completion: 1961

during my visit, i didn't realise what a pearl of modern church architecture duisburg has to offer. i think that even the few photos i took show the building's uniqueness. the church has been deconsecrated for a few years now and is used as a cultural centre. in any case, i have yet to visit the interior, because i hear it's fantastic.

bei meinem besuch war mir gar nicht bewusst welche perle des modernen kirchenbaues sich in duisburg befindet. ich finde selbst die wenigen aufnahmen die entstanden sind, zeigen die besonderheit des bauwerkes. seit mehreren jahren ist die kirche profaniert und kulturort. auf jeden fall muss ich das innere noch besuchen, denn der innenausbau soll fantastisch sein.

The history of art in architecture or „Kunst am Bau“ in Germany dates back to the Weimar Republic and the Roaring Twenties: as a consequence of the dire economic situation of artists after WWI the interior ministry in 1928 decided to stipulate the inclusion of artists in the artistic configuration of public buildings and to allocate a certain amount of the total building sum to art. After WWII and in view of the again often tense financial situation of artists the German parliament rekindled with this kind of cultural sponsorship and in 1950 adopted legislative measures to include art and artists in public projects. Interestingly and basically at the same time the government of the GDR did the same. Seventy years later the Federal Ministry of the Interior took this double anniversary as point of departure for a retrospective view at a long history of art in architecture in both states: alongside a traveling exhibition the Deutscher Kunstverlag in 2020 published the lavishly illustrated catalogue „70 Jahre Kunst am Bau in Deutschland“ that follows the exhibition’s structure and presents art in architecture in a variety of more or less publicly accessible buildings from federal ministries to military facilities. Artworks in the latter context are a particularly interesting feature since they can only rarely be visited by the public at large. In addition the catalogue also provides information about the development of art in architecture in both German states before and after the fall of the Berlin wall and sheds light on how the changing courses of time influenced art in architecture. The result is a comprehensive retrospective that through its multi-perspective view on the topic in both German states addresses differences and similarities and brings to light a rich heritage that is worth discovering!

Cases of Skin Rash are increasing everyday because of bacterial , fungal or viral infections , on the other sides alot of insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and flies, which act as vectors. What we are witnessing in shelter centers and displacement camps from the accumulation of stagnant water and inadequate management of waste and sanitation provides a fertile ground for disease vectors. Every day we see in our Medical point about 50 cases of multi-cause rash. 😥💔

society's infantilization of decorated objects is honestly one of the greatest recent crimes against humans' innate desire for beauty

christi verklärung // köln heimersdorf

architect: josef lehmbrock

completion: 1966

a small gem of cologne's post-war modernist church architecture can be found in heimersdorf. it has a cruciform floor plan and is clad in panels in various shades of anthracite. the monumental rose window is the building's outstanding feature. unfortunately, the building was under construction when i visited, so i wasn't able to see the interior. it's a shame, because it's a little brutalist gem. at least you can always visit it digitally at: https://kurzlinks.de/ptkc
