The Evangelical Methodist Church in Waiblingen is taking part in the International Building Exhibition IBA’27 with its project “Neuer Kirchensaal” (New Church Hall). According to the report, sustainability is the central theme of the renovation.
Pastor Ute Armbruster-Stephan said, “We want to become climate-neutral as a church.” The congregation’s plans are linked to the IBA’27, which, together with the Verband Region Stuttgart, promotes innovative and transferable solutions for sustainable and circular construction.
The report’s headline describes a considerable amount of self-help by the community in the project, a commitment to work done with care for the church’s future (Colossians 3:23). The available text does not provide further detail on the scope of the work or its timeline, and the report’s description of the first steps is incomplete.
