The Zieglerische Anstalten, a religious, charitable organization, has facilities all over Baden-Württemberg. One of these is the Ringgenhof specialist hospital, a rehabilitation clinic in Wilhelmsdorf for addicted persons. Prayer and worship play an important role in the spiritual welfare of those undergoing treatment there. For that reason, a number of former patients have joined forces to establish a new “Church by the Way” and also to finance it in large part. The name may be understood literally, but also as a reference to the path through life. The simple volume of the church has been incorporated in the orthogonal form of the hospital, defining the entrance situation anew. A narrow roof structure links the church with the existing building and indicates the route to the entrance. The prayer space was conceived to provide a maximum of 120 people with scope for peace, concentration and worship.
