Refurbishment and Redesign St. Moritz Parish Church in Augsburg
St. Moritz Parish Church was established in what is presently the centre of Augsburg nearly 1000 years ago. Following fire and collapse in early years, a Romanesque basilica was erected; later a Gothic choir and vaults were introduced. It was altered in the course of Reformation and Counter-Reformation and was later lavishly reappointed in the baroque era. Dominikus Böhm directed the rebuilding of the church, which had been damaged during World War II; he gave it a modern form. Nevertheless, in this version, as in others, different historical periods shine through. Following liturgical reform in the 1960s, however, the consonance was diminished.
