Exterior view of the Mauritius Church

The St. Mauritius Church is a Catholic church at Abeggstraße 37 in Wiesbaden .

From 1959 to 1960 the community center and the lower church were built (architects: Martin Braunstorfinger, Jürgen Jüchser and Peter Ressel). The church itself, the bell tower and the parsonage in the brutalist style followed in 1967–1968 (architects: Jürgen Jüchser, Peter Ressel). The Stuttgart sculptor Otto Herbert Hajek and the artist Hans-Georg Schleifer designed the glass windows, the sculptor Werner Kump the entrance door. The church was consecrated in 1968 and named after St. Mauritius , the city patron of Wiesbaden. It stands in the tradition of the three Mauritius churches , the first of which was built in Wiesbaden during the Carolingian era . Since the merger of all Catholic parishes in downtown Wiesbaden on January 1, 2012, St. Mauritius has been a subsidiary church of St. Bonifatius .
