Heiligkreuzkirche - Concrete Aesthetic 16

Built in the postwar period, the Heiligkreuzkirche is defined by its strong geometric forms, dramatic use of concrete and an approach to religious architecture that feels both monumental and intimate. Moving away from the traditional language of church design, the building uses light, structure and material to create a powerful and unusual space.

The 24-page A5 magazine features black-and-white photography by Marco Tarchini. His images explore the church's details, textures, and atmosphere, focusing on the relationship between light and concrete and capturing the changing character of its distinctive architectural forms.
