i set out to have a look at siedlung #praunheim ( a late 1920ies colony built by ernst may - frankfurt's most well-known city planner ) but ended up loving a 1960 mourning hall way more 😍 the mourning hall at the #westhausen cemetery was built by architect günter bock and sculptor otto herbert hajek ( who contributed also to wiesbaden's very own mauritiuskirche - my absolute favourite church building here 🖤 ). it's a brutalist structure at its finest and entices with a 75 meter long ferroconcrete wall with abstract sculptural carvings. i completely, utterly fell in love with this jewel! talk about never obsessing about anything 😌 turns out that i do, just not over what presumably everyone else obsesses over. #frankfurt #architecture #neuesfrankfurt #brutalism #mourninghalls #friedhofwesthausen #günterbock #ottoherberthajek #sculpturalarchitecture #swiperight (hier: Friedhof Westhausen) https://www.instagram.com/p/B68p9M7KvaU/?igshid=1ibvuqsexctvx

dillydallying in #königsteinimtaunus today in search for richard neutra's 'haus rang' (which was so absolutely off-kilter and completely hidden, that it's almost a shame...) a little bit disappointed after having to sneak through thick underbrush to get just the tiniest glimpse, i went to explore other parts of königstein and got treated with different kinds of architectural nourishment. the house of congress (hans busch, 1955) was one of the delicious meals and also the spa (rudolf & ingeborg geier and the ever amazing otto herbert hajek - who i know from his work on wiesbaden's very own st. mauritius church, 1977). inbetween were some other delights like the medieval city core and the spa park (and i should probably climbed up to the castle, too, but wasn't much feeling it today). so... while i didn't get to immerse myself into more neutra territory, i had an otherwise lovely walk ❤️ i still want to check on haus rang again, i hope it's at least open for memorial day sometime in the future... it looked completely uninhabited, though, which was kind of exciting, but also kinda sad? this house shouldn't be! someone rent it to me 😢 oh, and yeah, i could technically shoot your band's promo pictures 😎😜 #architecture #midcenturymodern #postmodernism #ottoherberthajek #colourblocking #brutalism #overgrowth #hausderbegegnungkönigstein #kurbadkönigstein #selfportraits (hier: Königstein im Taunus) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_vPHuyH1jy/?igshid=x1yalgxrjro
