教堂有两个尖锐的尖塔，立体感十足，像是和山坡连为一体。室内设计了圆屋顶，主要为木质结构，顶部设有天窗，日光透过天窗照到室内。教堂是由一个中殿、两个尖顶塔和西南部的引桥构成的，白色的外观棱角分明，富有动感。内部采用拱形的设计，使用了66块定向刨花木板进行建造，结构非常紧凑。设计团队利用参数化计算机程序生成几何图形，然后进行施工，建筑品质很高。

建筑师迈克尔·舒马赫表示，这座教堂非常醒目，有明显的指引标志，人们可在此加油、用餐和住宿。这里还有游戏城，为人们提供休闲活动的场所，周围有一些小城市。教堂能为人们提供冥想沉思和祈祷的空间。这座教堂虽然不大，但能满足人们的基本需求，也在周边地区产生了广泛影响。不论是从哪个方向过来的人，都会注意到教堂，独特的外观非常吸引人。



based on the winning design proposal by schneider+schumacher from a competition in 2009, the ‘autobahn chapel siegerland’ provides a place for travelers to stop for worship on a highway near wilnsdorf, germany. the structure complements and contrasts the other functions comprised in the adjacent roadside stop (gas fill up, eating, sleeping), creating an opportunity for quiet contemplation and prayer. furthermore, rather than relying on bold signage to announce itself to oncoming vehicles, the church takes a visually distinctive form to communicate its presence.

the chapel’s form is a three-dimensional translation of a typical church pictogram with two pointed steeples. from a closer view, the building appears to grow out of the hillside, via its bridged walkway leading to a covered entrance. on the interior, a domed ceiling is created by a gridshell of curving wood profiles. daylight from spires’ skylights illuminate the space through the vaulted structure.

the new highway church is composed with a square nave, two spire towers, and an access bridge at the southwest corner. the exterior has a monolith white materiality, and takes an angular and dynamic form. the internal space is shaped by a vaulted ceiling, which is constructed of 66 engineered lumber (oriented strand board) profiles. the timber ribs are slotted into one another to create a rigid and self supporting structure. the design team utilized parametric computer programs to generate the geometries and produce construction documentation, including 650 individual parts.

architect michael schumacher describes the conceptual basis as follows: ‘motorway service areas are places with an unmistakably direct message. huge signs point to what goes on here: filling-up, eating, sleeping and maybe also, for a bit of distraction, a visit to a gaming mall. they are little cities, but without the subtle layers – no spaces for quiet contemplation or prayer, no beautiful spaces.

the small motorway church offers an opportunity to fulfil these fundamental needs, and provides these in a place where they are arguably most lacking. for a building to make an impact in such surroundings, it needs to talk the same unmistakably direct language (at least on the exterior). whether approached from afar from the dortmund direction, or from the motorway service area, the church represents a built version of the motorway church signage. even though its exterior form is abstract, it still signals in an immediate and direct way: ‘i am a church!’ 。
