Jesuit Monastery, (Jesuitenkloster Ordenshaus “Stimmen der Zeit”) (today: Apartment Building)
| Condition | In 1988, the ensemble had to be renovated for the first time. The towers were clad with copper and the exposed concrete with a protective layer. In 1999, it was listed as a historical monument. In 2007, it was renovated again due to the reconstruction, and the protective layer and the cladding were removed. It was especially difficult to maintain the qualities of the buildings during the renovation. For example, due to its use as a residential building, new windows had to be added and the idea of "irregularity" could no longer be respected. |

A sacred building becomes a secular building. Built on a hexagonal grid, a two-storey concrete building, enclosing a courtyard. The ensemble also includes three adjacent towers with sloping roofs. Parapet bands form verandas and divide the building horizontally. Irregularly distributed windows and doors appear loosened, and irregular shuttering patterns reinforce this.
