Expansion of the cemetery in Trens | null17 Architektur
Bolzano / Italy / 2024
The extension of the Trens cemetery creates a dignified place of remembrance in the tension between landscape, heritage, and village community. Located at the foot of the pilgrimage church of Maria Trens, a burial ground has been created that respectfully integrates into the existing structure. A new exposed concrete wall encloses the lower section of the cemetery, sensitively complementing the existing layout. With restrained design, locally typical materials, and contemporary forms, a quiet space is created for personal remembrance and collective commemoration.

Die Erweiterung des Friedhofs Trens schafft einen würdevollen Ort des Gedenkens im Spannungsfeld zwischen Landschaft, Denkmal und Dorfgemeinschaft. Am Fuß der Wallfahrtskirche Maria Trens gelegen, wurde ein Gräberfeld geschaffen, das sich respektvoll in die gewachsene Struktur einfügt. Eine neue Mauer aus Sichtbeton fasst das talwärts gelegene Gräberfeld und ergänzt sensibel die bestehende Struktur. Mit zurückhaltender Gestaltung, ortstypischen Materialien und zeitgemäßen Formen entsteht ein stiller Raum für individuelle Erinnerung und kollektives Gedenken.
