Martin Luther Church (Münster)
The Martin Luther Church is a Protestant church building in Münster in the Mecklenbeck district , which was built from 1966 to 1967 based on designs by the architect Olaf Andreas Gulbransson .
architecture
The church is a modern church building from 1967 with a separate bell tower ( campanile ), which was added in 1975 in prefabricated construction.
The church building itself appears from the outside as a space built on a diamond-shaped floor plan . Inside, the floor plan of the church interior appears to be similar to a shell, at the tip of which there is a small, compactly built altar island and which then opens in a wedge shape to the entrance area for the pews, and then tapers again in a wedge shape to the separate entrance area.
The narrow choir wall behind the altar island is - unlike in many more modern Protestant church buildings - not closed. Rather, there is a narrow ribbon of windows in the center, which extends from the floor to the ceiling and opens in a delta shape towards the ceiling. The window is made of frosted glass, into which several abstract representations with stained glass panes in red tones are embedded, which can be interpreted as rose motifs, blazing flames.
The ceiling inside the church is striking. It is a curved wooden ceiling that rises from the sides to the central axis between the altar and the entrance area. However, the ceiling is not symmetrical and therefore gives the impression of a wave.
organ
In the rear part, above the entrance foyer, there is an organ stage set into the top of the building in a horseshoe shape. The original single-manual organ , built in 1971 by the organ builder Paul Ott (Göttingen), was replaced in 2007 by the organ of the profaned Church of Reconciliation in Münster, which was built by the organ building company Detlef Kleuker (Brackwede). The purely mechanical instrument has 11 stops on two manuals and a pedal :
