description
The church was built from 1969 to 1971 according to plans by Gottfried Böhm in the style of concrete brutalism on a triangular floor plan. In the center of the church there is an altar island around which the stalls are grouped. The roof is multi-tiered and forms a kind of dome with window openings. The back wall of the church building is a closed, massive wall made of exposed concrete. The building is considered a "successful example of church building after the 2nd Vatican Council".
