Propsteikirche 1982, Catholic parish church in Mitte, Leipzig, Germany.

The Propsteikirche features a 50-meter tower that stands separately from the main triangular structure, incorporating red Rochlitz porphyry in its modern facade design.

The church, inaugurated in 2015, replaced a 1982 building that suffered structural problems, marking the return of Catholic presence to Leipzig center after 70 years.

The northern window displays texts from both testaments that transform their appearance throughout the day while the interior hosts regular organ concerts and choir performances.

The building implements geothermal energy systems, solar panels, and rainwater collection methods to meet 76 percent of its energy requirements through sustainable sources.

The architectural design received recognition as Religious Building of the Year at the 2016 World Architecture Festival for its innovative triangular layout and environmental features.
