Oberbechingen Chapel by Frank Lattke of the Siegfried and Elfriede Denzel Foundation:
The chapel is a place of contemplation in the vastness of the landscape, which becomes clear in contrast to the narrowness of the spatial experience. The square room is spanned by a steep, high rafter roof that falls deeply down over the diagonal. A look through the framework of the inward-swept wall gives an idea of the interior. The entrance leads from the low to the high, the ridge above the diagonal carries the direction of the room. Inside, soft side light falls through high window slits, candlelight and a cross. The Christian symbol, the holy water font and the candlestick are made of burnished and brushed tombac sheet, a brass alloy with a high copper content. The wooden framework, the untreated board formwork and the end grain floor are made of local spruce. The dovetail joint of the rods is precisely machined. The building is a sign of contemporary craftsmanship that honestly tells the story of how it was made.
