St. Rabanus Maurus

St. Rabanus Maurus is a Catholic church in Mainz featuring modern architecture with large windows and geometric shapes. The building was designed by Karl Josef Dicke and displays the clean, simplified design language typical of the postwar period.

Construction began in 1964 when the Oblates of Mary Immaculate established a new provincial branch in Mainz. The dedication ceremony took place shortly before Pentecost in 1965, establishing the church's role in the community.

The interior windows display modern glass art with religious themes that reflect the contemporary character of the building. These artistic elements shape how the space feels and create a distinctive form of visual prayer.

The building is located in the Hartenberg-Münchfeld district and is easily accessible. Services are held regularly at set times, as the parish merged with other communities to share facilities and staffing.

Bishop Hermann Volk consecrated the building shortly before Pentecost in 1965, giving it a special spiritual significance. The timing of the dedication connected to Pentecost as a symbol of divine grace and renewed community.
