history
The church was built in 1946 as an emergency church for the newly created Münichholz district and consecrated in December 1946.
It is a simple hall church in the typical style of the 1940s with rieselverputzten facades and emphasizing the building edges by Putzfaschen . On the east facade facing the gable there is a horizontal plastering socket facing the gable floor. A simple round arched portal in the middle of the facade was the original main entrance to the church. The course of the roof of the broken off former vestibule can still be seen on the plaster above the portal.
The church was exposed to light through narrow, high, round-arched windows that had plaster frames framed with rods and central wedge stones. On the east facade there is a window opening to the left and right of the portal and in the gable area there are two circular lighting openings. The longitudinal facade has four church windows and in the middle of the facade the slightly pre-built side church entrance with a round arched portal opening and curved canopy with an oval lighting opening above. In the west of the church, slightly drawn in, is the two-storey boy scout house with two-axis façades, which are also plastered with trickle plaster. A frame-framed, segment-arched door in the south is the building entrance. A high roof with hipped to the east and small dormer windows in the area of Scout House passes both buildings.
With the inauguration of the new Münichholz parish church in the 1960s, the old church was closed and the bell tower and vestibule were removed.
