The two projecting entrances are framed by wall panels protruding from the eaves . The brick-facing interior is decorated with a circumferential band of lattice bricks under the flat ceiling. The rooms are illuminated through skylight shafts . The altar island is slightly raised. Georg Hoffmann developed the tabernacle stele from industrial steel tubing.
