St. Paulus Church - Interior

This church was created to also serve as the community center, in the form of a new village square in a very small South German town. The intent was to create an urban yet homely center to develop the religious complex to form a calm space that includes the new church, the church tower, the community center and the existing rectory.

The entrance axis aligns with the urban pedestrian axis so that the building stands not only of religious importance but of public importance as well, creating busy public space between the rectory and the existing church tower without being showy.
