St. Hildegard

St. Hildegard is a church building in Limburg an der Lahn featuring distinctive modern architecture from the 1960s. The structure combines a rectangular chapel made of exposed concrete with a main church whose curved concrete roof and extensive glass walls define its interior design.

The church was built between 1965 and 1967 by architect Walter Neuhäusser during a period of major change following the Second Vatican Council. The building reflects efforts to rethink religious spaces and adapt them to modern society.

The church displays contemporary religious architecture through its concrete forms and expansive glass surfaces. Visitors experience a blend of angular and curved design elements that create an open and luminous interior space.

The church grounds include a kindergarten, parish center with youth club, and seminar rooms alongside the main sanctuary. These facilities make the site a versatile gathering place for different age groups and activities.

Since 2005 the building houses the Crossover Youth Church of the Diocese of Limburg, a dedicated gathering place for young people. This area offers a space where young people can shape and experience church in their own way.
