The Martinskirche church for sale is located in the southern Mannheim district of Rheinau-Süd, in a quiet location in a mature residential area with good public transport connections. Built between 1965 and 1967 according to the plans of architect Fritz Henning, the building is part of the Rheinau Protestant parish and is one of the more impressive examples of modern church construction in the region. Characteristic of the architecture is the low-pitched, tent-like saddle roof, which gives the building a sculptural presence. The ensemble is complemented by a free-standing bell tower, which harmoniously frames the historic sacred building. Access is barrier-free.

Inside, the building was fundamentally reinterpreted in 2016. With the installation of a two-storey wooden cube in the nave, an innovative spatial concept was implemented that responds flexibly to the changing needs of the congregation. This modern installation is divided into an open congregation area on the first floor and a worship area on the upper floor. The materials used - especially the light-colored wood - create a warm, calm atmosphere and form a harmonious contrast to the clear design language of the original concrete structure.

Visually, St. Martin's Church combines the best of two architectural worlds: The outer form with its tent structure is reminiscent of protection, gathering and community, while the interior conveys a timeless functionality through modern elements and restrained design. Particularly impressive is the spaciousness of the main room, which has been given a new zoning by the central cube without losing its spaciousness.

In 2022, the building was listed by the Protestant city synod as being available for disposition, which opens up space for new usage concepts. This offers buyers an extraordinary property with plenty of potential for cultural, social or creative ideas for use. Conversion into an event venue, gallery, neighborhood center or even an innovative office or co-working space is conceivable, for example. The basic structure of the building is versatile and can be used immediately thanks to the existing structural adaptations.
