Overview
- The 26-member jury selected Code Unique Architekten, working with Prugger Landschaftsarchitekten, from 14 submissions in the competition.
- The design reinstates the late-Baroque tower and proposes a bright, multiuse nave with a movable glass partition, seating for roughly 300, and translucent galleries.
- Plans include a children’s area behind the organ, a church café near the entrance, and a publicly accessible garden for gatherings.
- Parish leaders say contract negotiations start now, with construction targeted for 2027 and an opening service aimed for 2030.
- Insurance is expected to fund the rebuild but costs remain undisclosed; a prior estimate put the project near €35 million and about €550,000 in donations has been raised, following the 2023 arson that led to a nine-year sentence in 2024.
