Since the 1970s, so-called ecumenical church centers have emerged in Germany as spaces for shared Christian life and celebration. By way of example, the article explores two such building projects in Munich from different periods. The historical (contexts of) emergence, structural design and liturgical practice of the two centers are investigated not only on the basis of written sources, but also through on-site explorations and discussions. By integrating these analyses into university teaching and learning experiences, this study wants to indicate, how liturgical studies can benefit from such a multi-layered approach both in research and teaching.
