St. Eligius, Parish church in Völklingen, Germany.
The St. Eligius church displays neo-baroque and neo-classical elements with Art Nouveau details, featuring a prominent tower facade with broad pilaster strips.
The current structure, completed in 1913, replaced an earlier church from 1848 that became too small for the growing population of Völklingen.
The church bears the name of St. Eligius, patron saint of metalworkers, connecting to Völklingen's industrial heritage and its steel works.
Religious services take place multiple times throughout the week, including Sunday mass at 10:30 AM and additional ceremonies on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
The church houses one of the few remaining German Romantic organs in Saarland, built by Stahlhut in 1925 and renovated with mechanical slider chests in 1982.
