bugenhagenkirche // barmbek süd
the mighty structure of the church made of clinker brick with its cubic shape, which ends in the enormous tower, dominates the street front. the only sculptural decoration are the larger-than-life ceramic figures of hamburg’s reformers.
in front of the building, one simply feels tiny and humble. i can imagine that this was also the intention of the builders, to show how small man is before god.
