Image:House of Worship at Langenhain near Frankfurt.jpg |
This is an image of the House of Worship in Germany, the Mother Temple of Europe located at the foot of the Taunus Mountains in the village of Langenhain, in the Frankfurt suburb of Hofheim, Hesse. The design was made by Teuto Rocholl. It was completed in 1964 and is constructed of steel, aluminum and glass. Five hundred and forty diamond-shaped windows give the dome an optical lightness and permit the sunlight to play in it. The outstanding characteristic acoustics of this setting are created by the reverberation within the dome and the resonance of its myriad window ledges. |
