Maria, Königin des Friedens pilgrimage church, Neviges, Gottfried Böhm { 20 images } Created 10 Aug 2022
Maria, Königin des Friedens pilgrimage church in Neviges by Gottfried Böhm.
Gottfried Böhm was a German architect and sculptor. In 1986, he became the first German architect to be awarded the prestigious Pritzker Prize.
His reputation is based on creating highly sculptural buildings made of concrete, steel, and glass. Böhm's first independent building was the Cologne chapel "Madonna in the Rubble" (now integrated into Peter Zumthor's design of the Kolumba museum renovation). The chapel was completed in 1949 where a medieval church once stood before it was destroyed during World War II.
Böhm's most influential and recognized building is the Maria, Königin des Friedens pilgrimage church in Neviges.
I first saw images of this brutalist church watching the opening movie at the Architectuur Film Festival Rotterdam : CONCRETE LOVE - THE BOEHM FAMILY.
The building was so impressive I had to photograph it myself.
