An organ that breaks fresh ground

At first glance, the catholic Edith-Stein Church lying between the administration and apartement buildings of Hamburg's Neu-Allermöhe quarter, is barely noticeable. Only the ocher-yellowed bricked walls differentiates it from the continuous red brick facade. The walls of the church give an almost windowless impression. "Altogether, the district has a distanced self-contained rather than appealing effect. Presumeably it is an appropriate possibility and the unspoken desire of the minority parrish not to appear too self-confident and flamboyant" (Martin Wurzer-Berger in Das Münster, January 1995)
