Mor Barsaumo, Syriac Orthodox church in Pohlheim, Germany.
The red brick church features five arched stained glass windows on each side and a hexagonal lantern crowned with a four-sided clover cross.
The church opened in 1999 after Aramaic Christians settled in Pohlheim during the 1960s, following their departure from Turkey due to religious persecution.
The interior follows Oriental traditions with colorful decorations and an iconostasis wall separating the elevated altar area made from white Tur Abdin limestone.
Religious services at Mor Barsaumo take place in both German and Aramaic languages, serving approximately 250 families in the local community.
The church bell originates from the Old Church of Watzenborn-Steinberg, where the congregation previously held their services before building their own place of worship.
