PROTESTANT CHRISTCHURCH

The rectory and the church are typical german brick buildings from the 50’s. After analysing the buildingstructure from the year 2009, the church’s thermal heating demand was at 187kWh/m²a and the rectories thermal heatimg demand 130kWh/m²a.

The church is located at the end of the high street in Heinsberg- with a prominent site. The building itself should not change it’s outward apperience becoause of monument conservation. Because of this, we had to use an internal insulation.
