Heilig Geist, Aachen

The Heilig Geist church features white plastered surfaces, staggered cubes, and a square bell tower positioned in front of the main nave.

Following an architectural competition with 71 participants in 1928, Otto Bongartz designed the church, which opened its doors on July 6, 1930.

The church interior incorporates ornamental stained glass windows and inward-drawn buttresses, reflecting the evolution of religious architecture in the early 20th century.

Located at Körnerstraße 20-22 in Aachen, the church welcomes visitors through a broad flight of steps leading to its northeast-facing nave.

The building's reinforced concrete construction enables a support-free interior space, demonstrating the integration of modern engineering in religious architecture.
