Don-Bosco-Kirche

The Don Bosco Church is a modern church building in Augsburg featuring two slender concrete towers and a large central dome that dominates the roof structure. The dome spans across the main space and creates an open, bright interior that seats up to 700 people.

The building was constructed between 1960 and 1965 and consecrated in 1962. Its design established new standards for modern church construction in the region at that time.

A suspended dove at the center represents the Holy Spirit, while the blue choir window depicts God as a burning bush. These symbols shape the spiritual experience as you enter the space.

The interior is bright and open, making it easy for visitors to navigate and orient themselves. Accessibility is good since the building was designed with modern standards in mind.

The central dome features an extremely thin concrete shell structure. This construction method was a technical achievement for its time and demonstrates the innovative engineering of the post-war era.
