The increasing lack of space in the old church, built in 1576, was already apparent in the 18th century. After long and tough negotiations, the extension of the church was started in May 1956 under the then-incumbent pastor Dr. Rotter. For reasons of monument preservation, the old nave was to be preserved. Gulbransson added the new building to the long side of the old church in a hexagonal shape. The new gable takes up the structure of the old one. The architect has thus achieved a unique synthesis. The new building and the nave of the old church fit harmoniously into a whole. The external form alone gives an idea of the wealth of exquisite symbolism with which Gulbransson was able to equip one of his most important works. In addition to the idea of the Trinity, which is expressed in the form of the recurring triangular shape, the hexagonal floor plan of the new building is intended to indicate the position of Sunday, which is enclosed by the six days of the week. The tent-like shape of the building is reminiscent of the biblical saying (from the letter to the Hebrews, chapter 13, verse 14) that man has no permanent city on earth. Churches are not built to last forever either. Two corridors lead from the portals to the middle of the room, in the center of which is the baptismal font. The arrangement of the benches and the curved gallery are aligned with the altar and allow every church visitor a clear view of the altar and pulpit. Above the altar is the church's largest natural light source, a rosette clad in simple brickwork and pierced by yellowish and bluish glass blocks. The side windows are designed with the Greek letters Alpha and Omega. The door handle of the side portal shows Moses and the Ten Commandments. (Info: Schwebheim-evangelisch.de-Auferstehungskirche)
