Auferstehungskirche, Protestant church in Westend, Essen, Germany.
The Auferstehungskirche features a circular design with three layered window rings, constructed using Krupp steel and concrete with a diameter of 30 meters.
Architect Otto Bartning completed this church in 1930 during the Great Depression, implementing his expressionist star church concept from 1922.
The church windows, created by glass artist Johan Thorn Prikker, were reconstructed between 1999 and 2007 to maintain their original modern design.
The church remains open daily for visitors and holds regular services, concerts, and family events including the Westend Vibes music program.
The building stands as one of Europe's four principal modern church structures, featuring a Karl Schuke organ with 21 registers and mechanical traction.
