At the heart of the urban fabric of Neu-Listernohl, the contemporary lines of the new Saint Augustinus church and its community centre redefine the central space of Augustinusplatz.
This new building replaces a construction dating from the 1960s that had become too large and too expensive, and of which only the bell tower has been preserved. It is now more closely linked to the adjacent building by more than 2,000m2 of PIGMENTO® red standing seam cladding.
Zinc is perfectly suited to the architectural project by DEEN Architekten (Munster), unifying the materials of the façades and roofs and accentuating the symbolic effect of the elevation of the bell tower and the rest of the building, through the choice of a vertical installation.
The symbolic shade of red lends a certain timelessness to the whole, in harmony with the light bronze details of the joinery.
The complex graphic composition of the roof, dictated by the interior use of the religious building and the slender bell tower, forms an original silhouette that makes the new church a strong architectural and urban landmark.
