St. Ursula, Modern church in Schwachhausen, Germany.
St. Ursula is a modern church in Bremen-Schwachhausen defined by its distinctive architectural form. Two intersecting gable roofs create a Greek cross floor plan with a central octagonal interior space that seats around 500 people.
The building was designed by architect Karl-Heinz Bruns and opened on November 10, 1968. It became the first Catholic church built in Schwachhausen after World War II.
The interior stained glass windows by artist Günther Radloff use blue tones that shape how light fills the space. These glass sections in the three gabled areas create a particular quality of light that affects how visitors experience the room.
The church is part of the St. Katharina von Siena parish and shares religious services with other churches in the area. Visitors should check ahead if they plan to attend services or special events.
The Alfred Führer organ was installed in 1981 and features diverse pipe ranks for different sounds. This instrument with its varied tones forms an important part of the church's musical character.
