With the chapel, the founders Peter and Ruth Eckes wanted to create “a non-denominational place of contemplation, encounter, silence, relaxation and contemplation” (from the Nieder-Olm newsletter). The planning team made up of Lisa Denecke (interior design graduate) and the architecture firm Kissler Effgen und Partner succeeded in doing this. The large glass front behind the altar offers a wide view of the wine-growing town of Zornheim, the Rhine plain and, on a clear day, the skyline of Frankfurt. The outdoor facilities were designed by the landscape architect Bierbaum. The chapel was consecrated in December 2021.
