The Matthäuskirche by architect Egon Eiermann is one of the outstanding and pioneering sacred buildings of the post-war period. The transparency (diaphanous) of the wall, which we usually associate with Gothic architecture, is given a new expression here with the materials concrete and thick glass. The designer and glass artist Hans Theo Baumann was an important source of inspiration and design for the church.
