Christkönig-Kirche, Parish church in St. Arnual, Saarbrücken, Germany

The Christkönig Church stands as a three-nave basilica constructed from unplastered red-yellow sandstone, accommodating up to 1,650 worshippers within its walls.

The church emerged from a 13th-century chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra under Countess Lauretta's governance, evolving through various structural changes.

The church's design combines Romanesque and Byzantine architectural elements, featuring a high tower that marks the Saarbrücken cityscape and a distinctive Paradise atrium.

Regular Catholic masses take place in the church, which serves the parish areas of St. Arnual and Alt-Saarbrücken districts within the Diocese of Trier.

The church's christological iconography demonstrates specific theological significance through expressionist interpretations of Romanesque and Byzantine architectural forms.
