Paulinum, University assembly hall and church in Leipzig, Germany
The Paulinum features a neo-Gothic facade with tracery windows, a rose window, and illuminated octagonal columns creating a modern architectural statement.
The building stands on the site of the Paulinerkirche, a Dominican monastery church from 1231 that served as university church until its demolition in 1968.
The preserved altar from 1500 displays the apostle Paul as a scholar, accompanied by reliefs depicting scenes from the Jesus-Mary narrative.
The main hall and sanctuary can be separated by a movable glass partition, allowing flexible space configuration for university ceremonies, concerts, and religious services.
The asymmetrical gable facade includes a deliberate line in the stone above the tracery window, marking the moment of the historic church's destruction.
