Church building

Church exterior

The church is a north-east facing reinforced concrete frame structure over an irregular, five-sided floor plan, which traces the plot between two streets intersecting at an acute angle. The building has a rising flat roof and a distinctive, prominent bell tower on the southwest side.

Church interior

Inside, the church forms a funnel-shaped hall with a wooden slat ceiling over a concrete grid construction. The altar wall is illuminated through slits of light. There are colored glass windows with abstract compositions on the entrance wall and on the side walls. Under the organ gallery is a weekday chapel, which has the same, albeit reduced, floor plan as the church.

Furnishing

The thick concrete glass windows and the altar table relief come from the artist Hermann Bauch . The figure of the Madonna is by Ernst Wenzelis .
