Motor aus zur stillen Einkehr
Theoretische und empirische Zugange zu Autobahnkirchen
by Katharina Biermann
German description: Die Beobachtung, dass Autobahnkirchen und -kapellen auf ein immer grosseres Interesse stossen, bildete den Ausgangspunkt der vorliegenden Untersuchung. Im Mittelpunkt steht daher die Frage nach deren spezifischer Bedeutung, die mit Hilfe von zwei verschiedenen Zugangen ermittelt wird. Grundlage des ersten Zugangs bildet das Heterotopiemodell Michel Foucaults, das auf Autobahnkirchen und -kapellen bezogen wird. Der zweite Zugang perspektiviert eine Untersuchung dessen, was sie als Kirchenraume auszeichnet. In diesem werden auf Basis einer Einsicht in (Kirchen-)Raumtheorien Fallstudien zu Raumkonzepten und Raumkonstruktionen durchgefuhrt, die einerseits fallinterne Analysen, andererseits fallubergreifende Vergleiche von ausgewahlten Autobahnkirchen und -kapellen vornehmen. English summary: The oberservation that highway churches and chapels are becominge more and more popular was the starting point of this study. It focuses on the question of their specific meaningsignificance, which is examined using two different approaches. The first approach is based on Michel Foucault’s heterotopia model, which is connected applied to highway churches and chapels. The second approach places perspectives an examination of their distinguishing characteristics as church spaces into perspective. In this approach, case studies on spatial concepts and constructions of space are carried out and spatial constructions on the basis of an insight into (ecclesiastical) spatial theories, focusing on case-internal analyses on the one hand, and on cross-case comparisons on the other hand of selected highway churches and chapels on the other.
