Father Moser-Feesche is the person responsible for this whole project. He's a priest from Bödigheim, Germany. He got the idea to build a communal chapel that could help link his village with two neighboring villages - Großeicholzheim and Seckach. He found a site for the chapel on a hilltop in the center of these three villages. From this summit, you can see the church towers in all three villages. Father Moser-Feesche sees this as an opportunity to bring these three communities together, or 'building bridges' as he puts it. Some local architects from the area - Ecker Architekten (www.ecker-architekten.de/) - happen to be good friends of one Frank Flury, a design/build professor at IIT. So Prof. Flury organized a studio of 14 students to realize this project. This group of students would be responsible for the designing and detailing of the chapel, and Ecker Architekten are helping us with permits and other legal matters. Now the design process begins.
