The interior is arranged with warm, bright
colors and their transparent simplicity is a clear contrast to the church's
appearance from the outside.
The entire interior design, including
the windows, the altar, and the organ were designed by the painter and
sculptor W. Gies from Cologne.
The artist Gies, who "normally paints
pictures who nobody has ordered", accepted the commission under the
conditions that he has for the most part the freedom to plan as he desires.
Several different organ builders submitted designs for the interior, with
it's clear abstract symbols and use of carefully selected materials.
For Gies, these were all too
conventional: "They were the usual styles, somewhere between neogothic
and modern refrigerator."
