St. Blasius is a Roman Catholic branch church in the Mölschbach district of the city of Kaiserslautern . It is a listed monument and is dedicated to St. Blasius of Sebaste consecrated.
history
St. Blasius was built in 1930/31 by the Leidner brothers from Kaiserslautern. In 1983/83 a community center was built in the southeast.
architecture
The neo-baroque hall church faces south and has four window axes with round arches on each long side. On the gable roof near the northern gable side sits a square roof turret with a retracted pointed helmet. In the south, the building ends with a square indented choir . The portal in the north gable side is lavishly designed in the form of the New Baroque in red sandstone. Narrow pilasters carry a cantilevered, curved and blown gable, in the middle of which is a portrait bust of St. Blaise seated over a large keystone with a cross. An oculus sits above the portal . While the interior of the hall is covered with a flat wooden beam ceiling, a barrel vault overlooks the choir. In the choir itself there are two round windows on the front and the west side with the heart of Jesus and Maria Immaculate . There is a gallery with the organ on the northern front wall of the church.
Furnishing
The simple furnishings from the 1930s have largely been preserved.
