St. Raphael, Modern church building in Gatow, Germany.

St. Raphael church stood at Alt-Gatow 49a, featuring a square floor plan with windowless walls between concrete support structures.

The church building was consecrated in 1965 and served the Catholic community until its deconsecration in March 2005 and subsequent demolition.

Rudolf Schwarz designed the church in 1960 following the Liturgical Movement tradition, with final execution by Werner Michalik and Maria Schwarz.

The former church site was sold to a supermarket chain, while a Meistermann window from the building now resides in Frankfurt's St. Michael Church.

The altar configuration marked the first instance in Berlin where seating arrangements surrounded the altar on three sides.
