St. Marien Church by the Sea (Schillig)

St. Marien is the name of the coastal church or church by the sea is the catholic church in Schillig. The modern church was consecrated on February 4, 2012 by Bishops Felix Genn and Heinrich Timmerevers.

Whether it's "God's halfpipe", "soul launch pad" or the North Sea wave "splashing" onto the dike - the "Church by the Sea" in Schillig has already been a talking point during its construction period.
And not just because, in a time of increasing church desecrations and demolitions, a new church could finally be built, but also because of its sophisticated architecture.
In terms of the exterior, Cologne architects Ilse and Ulrich Königs were tasked with designing a "Church by the Sea", implemented, among other things, by the chosen floor plan in the shape of a cross and a curved glass roof structure in the shape of a wave.
