Herz-Jesu-Kirche, Catholic church in Pforzheim, Germany
The Herz-Jesu-Kirche features an elliptical design with a central tower, flat dome, and walls constructed from golden-brown Cannstatt travertine limestone.
Built between 1928 and 1929, the church underwent reconstruction from 1948 to 1951 after sustaining severe damage during the World War II air raid on Pforzheim.
The altar area contains Wilhelm Müller's ceramic artwork 'Tree of Life', representing the connection between Good Friday and the Resurrection in Christian theology.
The church serves the Catholic community of Pforzheim within the Archdiocese of Freiburg, offering regular religious services, community gatherings, and musical performances.
The structure represents the first modernist church building in the Archdiocese of Freiburg, incorporating steel-concrete skeleton construction with brick infills.
