architecture
The construction of the Reconciliation Church in the Ulm district of Wiblingen began in 1962 according to plans by the Munich architect Olaf Andreas Gulbransson, who had recently died in an accident, and was completed in 1963. The Reconciliation Church is one of a total of 19 posthumously completed Gulbransson churches, and the only one by this architect in Baden-Württemberg. It forms a three-part building complex around a church square formed in this way, which consists of the hexagonal church itself, a row of houses for the parish apartment and kindergarten and a free-standing, 40 m high bell tower with three bells.
The sober central area of the interior of the church with 395 seats in three bench blocks is spanned by a wooden ceiling with three gables. In the north gable wall there is a gallery with 40 seats and an organ designed by Helmut Bornefeld . On the eastern gable wall is a stone altar table with a crucifix by the sculptor Sepp Baumhauer from Schwäbisch Gmünd, above it is a cross-shaped glass window by Hubert Distler with purple and orange colored elements.
