Further use

The basilica was converted into a narrow gymnasium between 2013 and 2014, which has been used by the Montessori school since autumn 2014 . The side aisles were converted into changing rooms for this purpose. After the reconstruction of the church building, the exterior view of the church building was essentially retained.

After the parsonage and the southern parsonage were demolished, a new building was built in 2013/2014 with the Elisabeth kindergarten on the ground floor. Student apartments were created above the kindergarten as well as on the area of ​​the old kindergarten building that was then vacated.
