What is more, a discovery had been made. Even on this mildly temperate winter morning, the fabricated church still has a warm, and extremely cosy atmosphere\u2014and the reason behind this is not only because the chairperson of the council of elders had just switched the heating on. Could it be due to the aromatically rich scent of wood emanating from the saddleback roof and gallery? Could it be because of the brightly painted walls that lend the room such a friendly ambience? Or is it the modest charm of the alter, pulpit, baptismal font and lamps that harbour an unembellished quality? It is a sure fact that one of the most interesting churches in Mannheim is also one of the most inconspicuous places of worship. The church was built in 1948, as an \u201cemergency provisional church type B (variant with a wall built around the alter)\u201d; this is how specialists in the field describe this type of building. The church was consecrated in 1949 and is one of the 90 or so churches in Germany that were created from the blueprints of one of the most important German Protestant church architects of the twentieth century\u2014in an extraordinary manner.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9163\" style=\"width: 2210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0082_gnadenkirche_web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9163\" class=\"wp-image-9163 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0082_gnadenkirche_web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0082_gnadenkirche_web.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0082_gnadenkirche_web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0082_gnadenkirche_web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0082_gnadenkirche_web-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9163\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dieter Peulen.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Otto\u2019s churches were intended to be \u201ctents pitched up in the desert,\u201d a statement to be taken quite literally given the fact that so many people were rendered homeless by the destruction caused by World War II. Before the National Socialists came to power, the architect born and raised in Karlsruhe (1883 \u2013 1959) was not only a cofounder of the Bauhaus concept in cooperation with Walter Gropius; as a part of the industrial construction, he also integrated prefabricated parts and materials at an early stage into the church designs. This was to have paid off, from 1945, he had barely taken over the responsibility of the construction department of the welfare organization of the Evangelical church: Otto had developed three types of church of which the body consisting of wooden elements were to be fit in place\u2014by the parishioners themselves. This was not only done to save money but also to gain a sense of togetherness in the community. \u201cHe never mentioned anything about provisional emergency churches,\u201d says Dieter. Otto understood them rather to be churches constructed in times of need that have arisen from a distinctive mentality during this period\u2014they were designed and built to stand the test of time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0130_gnadenkirche_web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9211\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0130_gnadenkirche_web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1467\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The wood used to build the Gnadenkirche in Mannheim originated from Switzerland. Parishes in the U.S. donated money to build the church as a sign of reconciliation. \u201cThe church was actually supposed to be called Church of Philadelphia for this reason,\u201d remembers Dieter. However, the locals of Mannheim were not too content about giving their church such an obvious connection to the U.S. so soon after the war. The walls were erected using red sandstone from the ruins of the evangelical construction works in the inner city. This is how the first modern church structure was erected in Mannheim after the war with the support of the World Council of Churches in Geneva and in accordance with Otto\u2019s building outlines. These designs allowed for something new to be found in each of the four occupation zones: churches assembled from prefabricated pieces\u2014in serial production.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Dieter Paulen was born in 1947 therefore he has of course no recollection of the church being built. He can, however, remember a lot more about its association with history: \u201cI grew up only a few meters from here,\u201d states the customs official who travelled throughout Europe right up until he went into retirement. But he still lives in the house that his father once built. In 1910, the then newly founded \u2018Gartenvorstadt-Genossenschaft Mannheim\u2019 (garden suburb association in Mannheim) created spacious housing for families modelled on the type of houses found in England with a self-sufficient garden. \u201cWe still practice this special sense of ourselves working together as a community right up to today,\u201d adds Dieter, who was baptized and confirmed in the Gnadenkirche. He got married here and his two children were baptized in this church as well. In his childhood, Dieter travelled with his family to the foundry in Karlsruhe, when the Gnadenkirche acquired a tower and bells in 1954. He has led the council of elders for over 40 years\u2014a position that he took over from his father in 1978.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0078_gnadenkirche_web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9159\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0078_gnadenkirche_web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0078_gnadenkirche_web.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0078_gnadenkirche_web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0078_gnadenkirche_web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0078_gnadenkirche_web-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The prime importance of the architect who devised the Gnadenkirche has been widely recognised throughout the whole nation, this significance still holds true even till today. Members of the public who share an interest in architecture frequent the Gartenstadt time and time again. The Academy of Art, Berlin, the Municipal Gallery, Karlsruhe and the Mathildenh\u00f6he Institute in Darmstadt recently paid a tribute to Otto Bartning in an exhibition. What the best part of experts don\u2019t know of course, is that his unprecedented church construction programme came to fruition in the Rhine-Neckar region. From 1941 to 1948, Otto was the director of the builders\u2019 hut for the Heiliggeistkirche (Church of the Holy Spirit) and Peterskirche (St. Peter\u2019s Church) in Heidelberg to escape the chaos of war in Berlin. He lived in Neckarsteinach from 1945 to 1951, where the Americans even appointed him to be Mayor for a period of time. On the street named Hirtweg, he set up a small office at the front castle owned by the Freiherrn von Warsberg family from which he ran his aid program. The blueprints for the emergency churches were drawn here\u2014the first of which happened to be in Pforzheim\u2014as well as the parish centres, \u2018diaspora chapels\u2019 and \u2018church houses\u2019 for the whole of Germany. In Neckarsteinach itself, another unprecedented project came to fruition: a housing development to make new homes for refugees and people displaced from their domiciles\u2014again to be built by the people themselves and made of tamped clay.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0026_gnadenkirche_web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9107\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0026_gnadenkirche_web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0026_gnadenkirche_web.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0026_gnadenkirche_web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0026_gnadenkirche_web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/0026_gnadenkirche_web-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Gnadenkirche in Mannheim, there are four more churches that Otto conceptualized in the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region: the Lukaskirche (Lucas Church) in Worms (emergency church type B) and the Friedenskirche (peace church) in Billigheim (diaspora chapel); the Bartning community at the Melanchthonkirche (Melanchthon church) in Ludwigshafen had described the building as being \u201cmaterially kept in shape\u201d\u2014the same grade was awarded to the Lukaskirche, in Palatine Birkenheide. However, a good number of Bartning churches run the risk of being torn down, such as the ones in Leverkusen and Dachau. Perhaps a new church should be constructed with all the creature comforts? \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t even consider this to be a workable option,\u201d adds Dieter, who co-organized the church\u2019s 70<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary festivities in 2019, as well as recently freshly painting the inside of the church together with the other parish members. \u201cVery well maintained\u201d is the mark that the Bartning community noted in the database as an indication of the state that the Gnadenkirche has been kept in. The church has been a listed building for a long period of time. You can read about its intention for admission into the world heritage listed buildings a few lines further down. The Berlin citizens\u2019 action group wishes for Otto\u2019s buildings to be admitted as unique sacred world heritage areas in the list of UNESCO buildings. The churches should definitely be able to fulfil the important criteria to gain acceptance into the international organisation. The organisation acknowledges \u201cexcellent examples of different types of buildings that are able to symbolize momentous chapters in the history of humankind.\u201d A traffic light is used as an indicator to distinguish between the parishes that intend to obtain support from the project and those that do not. The traffic light quite clearly indicates the colour for the church in Mannheim: green!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.otto-bartning.de\">www.otto-bartning.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gnadengemeinde.ekma.de\">https:\/\/gnadengemeinde.ekma.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After World War II ended, Otto Bartning devised a unique aid program for churches by means of a remarkable concept\u2014originating from the region Neckarsteinach.
