Diese Kirche muss man einmal gesehen haben, zumindest um zu erkennen, dass die Idee von Hundertwasser, sich nicht von geraden Linien gefangen halten zu lassen, absolut unmöglich an einem klassischen Kirchenbau umzusetzen ist. Da haben Andere es weitaus besser geschafft, die strengen Strukturen einer Kirche aufzulösen und gerade Linien zu unterbrechen. Das was man hier sieht, ist ein typischer Kirchenbau mit Turm und Schiff, streng den üblichen geraden Linien unterworfen, nur eben mit bunten Elementen, Kugeln und sonstigem semi-religiösen Firlefanz aufgehübscht. Die "bösen" geraden Linien am Turm wurden mit Wülsten verkleidet, was aussieht, als hätte man den Kantenschutz vergessen abzumachen, nachdem man das Puppenhaus aus der Verpackung genommen hatte. Ich muss gestehen, dass ich weder ein Freund des Katholizismus bin, noch ein Fan von Hundertwasser. Aber es ist unschwer festzustellen, dass diese Kirche nicht schön ist und sowohl der katholischen Architektur als auch dem Hundertwasser-Manifest als ein Schlag ins Gesicht aufzufassen ist.

Und ja, die Frage - siehe bei den zum Objekt gestellten Fragen - ist berechtigt, wieso ein Hakenkreuz auf einer Tür zu sehen ist. Da es sich um einen katholischen Sakralbau handelt und nicht um einen Jainistischen Tempel, muss man nicht gleich darauf kommen, dass sich jemand der Gestaltung eines katholischen Gotteshaus widmet und schon bereits an der Tür fremden Religionen huldigt.

Wer sich mit Hundertwasser beschäftigt, kann seinen Kunststil mögen oder nicht. Aber man sollte genauer hinsehen, woher so manche Motivation stammt, und bemerken, dass Hundertwasser keinesfalls besonders konsequent bei der Verfolgung seiner eigenen Ideale war. Und man sollte hinterfragen, wie groß sein Einfluss auf diesen Kirchenbau tatsächlich war, der als "von Hunderwasser inspiriert" bezeichnet wird.

Aber ich gebe dennoch drei von 5 Punkten, denn nichts ist so übel, dass es nicht noch als schlechtes Beispiel genutzt werden kann. Dies ist nur meine persönliche Meinung zu der - nach meiner Auffassung - völlig misslungenen Umsetzung des Hundertwasser-Konzepts an diesem Kirchenbau und ich möchte weder Kirchgängern noch Hundertwasser-Fans auf die...

A beautiful, stunning little church designed by the artistic genius Hundertwasser. I was overjoyed my Mum was able to take me to visit this little church in the village of Barnbach. (20/06/25)

There is so much attention to detail in the design. So many beautiful mosaic tiles capture your attention. Not only is the church very ornate but there are arches full of mosaic and detail on the outside perimeters of the church to take in. I was overjoyed.

The inside interior is quite plain and understated apart from the beautiful stained glassed windows which are very colourful and full of detail.

Barnbach is quite far out so this is not the easiest of places to get to. A...

A very unorthodox Catholic Church in Barnbach, Austria, St. Barbara's, was completely re-designed, both inside and out, including the grounds, by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, in 1987-’88. Father Zeck (the assigned priest at the time) wanted an entire revamping of the church and the grounds and gave Hundertwasser free reign over the design. The result of his work that one sees here today, was obvious and controversial to all passersby. It is free to visit inside and there is free parking. Our tour director called this a 'Hidden Treasure' because many tours miss it, but it was easy enough to find and quite...

Hunderwasser was a really talented man, was able to add a joyful twist to even such a serious topic like a church. Symbols of Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Judaism co-existing in peace in the same garden. Faboulous!
