Auferstehungskirche Buchforst, Cologne

The Auferstehungskirche, known as Kulturkirche Ost in Cologne-Buchforst is a modern Protestant church building with a community center, designed by architects Georg Rasch and Winfried Wolsky, inaugurated in 1968. In 2012, the municipal housing company GAG Immobilien took over the sponsorship to promote the location through cultural events. The church is considered an outstanding example of post-war Protestant church architecture and was listed in 1992, including the courtyard pavement. The buildings were abandoned by the Protestant church congregation in May 2005 and put to a new use as part of a model project. In the process, the church building and the courtyard paving were preserved, and the outbuildings were renovated.
