Stephanus Church in Cologne-Riehl

The mighty, floor-to-ceiling, 14 m high and practically one-piece window in the new building of the Stephanus Church in Cologne-Riehl dates from 1965. It has over 1000 almost equally sized vertically positioned glass parts and the emphasized ones from the outside to the center urgent colors (from a cold blue-white to green, blue and red to the warm, glowing yellow-white in the center) an extraordinary stringency and radiance that even surpasses the Lübeck project described. The composition is not primarily directed towards the center of the picture, as in Lübeck, but diverging upwards. This gives the impression of a cosmic line of sight oriented towards the “space”
