St. Mariä Himmelfahrt, Brutalist church in Unterbach, Düsseldorf, Germany

The St. Mariä Himmelfahrt church features an octagonal floor plan with four supporting pillars and a freestanding tower made of exposed concrete.

Architect Josef Lehmbrock constructed this Catholic church in 1963, replacing an earlier religious building that stood from 1883 to 1967.

The interior design symbolizes God's tent among people through its structural elements and incorporates a semicircular concrete shell enclosing the main altar area.

The church maintains regular services and extends its parish activities to a branch location in neighboring Erkrath-Unterfeldhaus for the local Catholic community.

The church stands as part of a planned settlement at Wittenbruchplatz, where its architect Josef Lehmbrock resided for many years.
