Sakralität Im Wandel: Religiöse Bauten Im Stadtraum Des 21. Jahrhunderts in Deutschland (Hardcover)

Over the past decades, the religious spaces in German cities have grown in number. Alongside established institutions, new voices are jostling for participation in the engagement with and the coexistence of different religious ideas--and their architectural expression.
Using Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religious buildings as examples, this book documents the sacral-topographical changes since 1990 both quantitatively and qualitatively. Focusing on the struggle for urban visibility, the book provides an important contribution to the overarching question of how architecture can be both an expression of social order and affect social dynamics.
