history
The parish church Maria, Queen of Peace was designed primarily as a garrison church and subordinately as a parish church for Augustdorf. It was built between 1959 and 1960 according to plans by Aloys Sonntag .
architecture
The elongated and rectangular church is covered with a gable roof. The tower with a square floor plan is free-standing. Like the sacristy, it is connected to the church by a corridor. The construction of the church with visible concrete beams should be reminiscent of military tents.
The construction continues inside the church. The walls are glazed at the top and sides so that the columns and beams appear to be free-standing. The sanctuary is slightly raised and drawn in on one side.
Furnishing
A beam cross occupies the front wall of the church. The colored concrete glasses were created in 1960 based on designs by Josef Jost .
