sankt petrus und paulus // köln lindenthal
architect: fritz schaller
completion: 1965
window design by franz pauli
sankt peter und paulus is surrounded by green spaces in the otherwise rather densely built-up lindenthal. the building is kept simple, the structural accents are formed by the triangular roof shape which is divided into smaller and smaller triangles and the surrounding glass window bands. the windows are considered the main work of franz pauli. originally, the church was part of a nunnery and was called klosterkirche vom guten hirten. after it was sold, it was used by the syrian orthodox community until 2021. unfortunately, the building is now scheduled for demolition. it would be desirable to find a use that could prevent the demolition.
