The Catholic parish church Heiligkreuz is a church in Trier in the Heiligkreuz district .
History and architecture
The parish church was built in the 1960s according to plans by the Cologne architect Gottfried Böhm next to the older Holy Cross Chapel from the 11th century, which is still standing today . Some of the furnishings were taken over from this chapel.
The building is designed as a high rectangular cube made of two-shell brick masonry. The roof was designed as a copper-covered reinforced concrete folded structure with a spherical crown on the hip tips. On the south side in the entrance area, the cuboid is slightly lower, but flanked by two monolithic round towers with a pointed cone roof.
Equipment and organ

The first organ in the building was a two-manual work by the Eduard Sebald company from 1963 with 31 registers, divided into the main work, swell mechanism and pedal, as well as an electric slider, which was replaced on March 26, 1995 by a new instrument by Siegfried Sauer from Höxter-Ottbergen has been.
The purely mechanical instrument has 36 registers on two manuals (including the large French-romantic swell mechanism) and a pedal.
