St. Bonifatius, Catholic parish church in Connewitz, Leipzig, Germany

St. Bonifatius is a Catholic parish church in Connewitz built in the Art Deco style in 1929/30 by architect Theo Burlage. Its core is a rotunda 23 metres across and 12 metres high under a flat sheet-metal conical roof, encircled by a ring about four metres wide holding the sacristy, baptismal chapel, Marian chapel and Boniface chapel. Set about 120 degrees from the entrance, the ring carries a 27.5-metre rectangular bell tower topped by a weathercock. The light roughcast facades frame portals and windows in clinker brick, and the entrance faces east-northeast, so the church is not oriented to the east.

Built between 1929 and 1930, the church was created as a memorial to Catholic German merchants who died in World War I. The building emerged during the post-war period as an act of remembrance.

The name refers to Saint Boniface, but the church was built as a memorial for the 1,500 Catholic German merchants who died in World War I, funded by the Catholic Merchants' Association. Inside, terracotta figures by Albert Burges and Wolfdietrich Stein line the four square pillars by the tower entrance, three rows high: Abel, Abraham, Moses and Melchisedek below; the martyrs Mauritius, George, Victor and Sebastian in the middle; and above them the church teachers Peter Canisius and Albertus Magnus, Francis of Assisi and the benefactor Homobonus of Cremona.

The church stands about 35 metres back from the southern end of Biedermannstraße, on a green plot beside the St. Elisabeth hospital of 1931. The entrance faces east-northeast, so the building is not oriented to the east. A glass wall separates the entrance area from the rotunda and directs visitors into the aisles between the pews.

The organ was built in 1902 for Dresden's Andreaskirche and installed here in 1935 by the Dresden firm Jehmlich, which added six registers in 1938. Organ builder Gerd-Christian Bochmann from Kohren-Sahlis overhauled it in 2005.
