Statio Dominus Mundi is a sacred and artificial building in the Illingen district of Wustweiler . The private chapel is under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Benedictine Abbey of Tholey .

history

The chapel was built in 2002 according to the plans of the architect Alexander von Branca by the entrepreneur couple Ursula and Edmund Meiser (founders of the company Gebr. Meiser ) on private property. The Latin name combines the liturgical term Statio ("prayer stop on the way") with the Christ title "Lord of the world".

architecture

The square sandstone building sits enthroned like a fortress on a hill near Wustweiler. The entrance is in the southwest corner, in the southeast there is a small bell tower. The corners form lines of sight with tall windows, and daylight also falls through the ceiling windows. The inside is clearly structured. The walls are white, the floors are fitted with marble tiles, eight square pillars delimit the center of the church and support the roof. In the north-west there is a marble altar with a tabernacle behind it .

Museum of Medieval Art

The sacred building houses an important collection of medieval masters, including a work by Lucas Cranach .
