In the protruding loggia at the entrance portal is a concrete relief, designed by the artist Lydia Roppolt . At the side there is a low bell tower with a sloping roof.
The interior of the church shows itself as a unified space with brick walls and a flat concrete grid ceiling and a black asphalt floor. The grid of the concrete girders was kept visible. The rows of windows are arranged at the top. The room heights were graded according to the importance of the use. The sanctuary acts as an optical center under a light dome in front of a wide corner.
