St. Gabriel, Parish church in Wiederitzsch, Germany
St. Gabriel features solid brick walls, distinctive stained glass windows, and a concrete roof structure that illuminates the interior space through natural light patterns.
The church emerged from modest beginnings in 1942 when a Catholic priest provided religious instruction in his home, leading to its construction in 1968.
The interior displays concrete sculptures and reliefs by Friedrich Press that depict the resurrection of Christ through artistic interpretations.
Located at Georg-Herwegh-Straße 22 in Leipzig, the church maintains regular services and remains accessible to visitors interested in religious architecture.
The building represents the first implementation of HP shell construction techniques in an East German church, designed by architect Peter Weeck and engineer Herbert Müller.
