Christ-König-Kirche, Filial church in Bochum, Germany.
The Christ-König-Kirche features brick expressionist architecture with clean lines and distinctive design elements characteristic of religious buildings in the Ruhr region.
Built between 1931 and 1932 under architect Franz Schneider's direction, the church suffered severe damage from an aerial mine in 1944, leaving only foundation walls intact.
After serving as a Franciscan monastery church until 1998, the building transformed into a cultural center called Kulturtankstelle, hosting art exhibitions and community events.
Located at Steinring 32 in Bochum, the church functions as an additional place of worship within the St. Peter and Paul parish since September 2008.
The church's Stations of the Cross, painted under glass by Claus Kilian, features backlight illumination through structural modifications.
