Neu-Mariahilf Chapel

The Neu-Mariahilf Chapel was consecrated by Bishop Ralf Meister in 2017. It is a wonderful light-flooded room with frameless floor-to-ceiling glass motif windows by Hartmut Berlinicke and the floor plan of a Romanesque choir with a perfect height ratio. A place of silence, prayer, and art. Historic church elements are cleverly integrated into the modern building. The chapel offers flexible seating for up to 70 people. It is one of the best sound spaces in Göttingen and holds a historic Bechstein Grand.

Sound space

The Neu-Mariahilf Chapel has exceptionally warm and intimate acoustics, which are ideal for the existing historic Bechstein from 1911, and chamber ensembles up to string quartets. The acoustics are unique in that musicians and listeners together immerse themselves in the sound of warm but clear-tuned resonances, creating an experience of great intimacy. We could hardly imagine a better place for MUSIC OF HOPE, including CD productions with this instrumentation.
