Markus Church (Weinheim)
The Markuskirche is a Protestant church in Weinheim in the Rhein-Neckar-Kreis in the north-west of Baden-Württemberg .
In 1957 the foundation stone of the brutalist style church was laid and in 1958 it was consecrated. The building is a simple hall with a gable roof and an open roof structure. The church has a free-standing campanile with a gable roof and ornamental light slits in the upper third of the tower. The artistically defining elements of this church are the colorful glass screens. The artist Klaus Arnold worked with both pastor Johannes Baudis and Dean Hauss, the architect's father, to create the image program. The result was a series of images relating to the statements of the Apostles' Creed .
The Markuskirche has been a listed building since 1998 .
