Todesangst-Christi-Kapelle, Roman Catholic chapel in Dachau, Germany.

The round concrete structure opens toward the front, featuring walls covered with unhewn pebbles from the Isar River, creating a monumental presence.

Munich auxiliary bishop Johannes Neuhäusler, a former prisoner of Dachau concentration camp, initiated the construction of this chapel, which was consecrated in 1960.

The chapel name references the death agony experienced by thousands of inmates, serving as a spiritual memorial at the former concentration camp site.

A 3000-kilogram bell tolls daily at 2:50 PM, calling visitors and locals to prayer for the concentration camp victims.

The entrance features a 550-kilogram copper crown of thorns, while the exterior displays a bronze relief depicting Christ donated by former imprisoned priests.
