Dieter Oesterlen (1911-1994) is one of the most important architects of the post-war era in Germany. As one of the founders of the “Braunschweig School,” he became known above all for his special treatment of architectural monuments destroyed during the war. Among other things, he supplemented, reshaped and “modernized” churches and palace buildings, thus showing ways beyond the tabula rasa or a supposedly truthful reconstruction. In doing so, he was deeply committed to the goal of combining traditional form and modern use.
His new church buildings also document this conviction. With the Christuskirche in Bochum (1957-59) or the Jesus-Christuskirche in Sennestadt (1962-66), he created a synthesis of expressionist-crystalline forms and traditional structures that resulted in impressive, modern, sacred spaces.
