	Military church of the Gerszewski barracks	Egon-Eiermann-Allee 6	1951	Design history and implementation: In 1950/51 the US Army commissioned the Mannheim architect Emil Serini (1899-1997) to design a “Standard Church” for the religious needs of the American troops and their families. The design was purchased independently of a specific construction project. The Serini office was fundamentally not involved in the execution. Copies of Serini's design drawings from 1951 have survived; the original plans and documents in the architect's possession were destroyed in an archive fire in 1962. The first church in the Heidelberg headquarters, Mark Twain Village, was completed in 1951, parallel to the drafting. It differs in size, cubature and some construction details from the standard design, which was designed for 350 seats. The churches in Karlsruhe, Mannheim and Heidelberg follow the standard design and only deviate from it in a few design details. Churches of this type were also made in Rhineland-Palatinate. Selection for protection: An exemplary selection was made from the churches in North Baden, which presupposes a highly authentic tradition and takes into account all variants of the type design: The church in Mark-Twain- Village (Römerstrasse 117, Flstnr. 2518/4, Heidelberg-Rohrbach) due to its special role as the earliest, largest and highest-ranking church in the headquarters of the US Army; the church of the former Heinland barracks (Sudetenstr. 93-95, Karlsruhe-Knielingen) as a smaller version without a complete basement; the church in the Coleman Barracks (Viernheimer Weg, Flstnr. 34366/1, Mannheim-Sandhofen) as an exact implementation of the type design.Description of design and execution: Conditions for the design of the Standard Church were: A type-appropriate construction from prefabricated components, inexpensive building materials and a floor plan that could serve the various denominations, primarily Protestants and Catholics, without content-related contradictions. Serini developed a hall building with transept-like extensions under a gently sloping gable roof and a retracted, semicircular closed choir. The lower part of the choir apse has an ambulatory that is not visible from the outside. [In the case of the main church in the headquarters, the transept and the gallery have been eliminated.] The spandrels to the right and left of the choir apse contain the sacristies. The flanking extensions, which appear as a transept to the outside, serve as chapels and have separate entrances. You enter the church via a high, wide portal at the front. Stairs lead from a wide anteroom to the gallery above, which is separated from the main room by a board balustrade. The main nave of the church is structured by cross trusses made of wood, between which narrow arched windows are placed. The choir area has been raised a few steps. There is a confessional in a rectangular niche below the gallery. The whole building has a basement: the basement houses offices, rooms for Sunday school, kindergarten, kitchen and toilets. The interior of the church is designed for the use of several denominations. The liturgically defined elements are limited to solutions common to the denominations or tolerable solutions, i.e. renouncing the pulpit, communion bench, tabernacle etc. The principal pieces are characterized by mobile or ephemeral constructions: turnstiles with a simple cross on one side and a relief on the other the St. Mary or St. Show Joseph; Saddle pads that are suitable for quickly removing depictions of the crucified from view through a curtain, etc. The windows are always designed in color, whereby different levels of design have to be distinguished: from simple, upright rectangular panes in a mixed arrangement without additional motifs to Christian symbols to complex ones Implementation of American military symbols and garrison coats of arms. Scientific and local historical significance: Emil Serini's Standard Church is one of the earliest modern church buildings in Baden-Württemberg after World War II. It shows clear influences of the emergency church program developed by Otto Bartning from 1948 for the aid organization of the Evangelical Churches in Germany - an early realization of this type church was built in 1948/49 in MannheimGartenstadt (still without a tower) and was known to Serini from personal experience. What they have in common is the quick and inexpensive construction from prefabricated components, the space-defining truss construction and the concept of multifunctional use. In contrast to Bartning, who envisaged cladding the surrounding walls, Serini also emphasized the skeleton construction on the outside with visible tie struts. The offensive modernity distinguishes the Standard Church from the majority of the church buildings of the early post-war period, which tried to build a bridge to church buildings from the pre-war period through traditional design elements. In formal terms, the building is characterized by delicacy, lightness and dynamism, brought about by the downwardly strongly tapered tie struts, the lancet-like narrow arched windows, the very gently sloping, far protruding gable roof and the expressionistic-looking roof turret. The establishment of garrisons of the US Army has influenced the cities of Heidelberg, Karlsruhe and Mannheim in their political and cultural-historical development since the end of World War II. The armed forces created their own “barracks” or took over historical barracks of the Wehrmacht. The new "Chapels", built as spiritual and religious centers, which offered the soldiers stationed only a few years a fixed point of reference, belong to the few new buildings of the US Army. Although designed by a German architect, its seemingly profane shape and unusual modernity are associated with the American culture. This impression is reinforced by the iconographical use of American military coats of arms in the colored glass windows of the churches. Because they were built in the early days of the occupation and their central position as communal buildings, they are particularly suitable for commemorating the consequences of the Cold War and thus one of the most important chapters of German-American relations.
