Kirche St. Elisabeth

The exterior walls of St. Elisabeth Church feature a plain white design that contrasts with the interior's multicolored artistic elements and concrete surfaces.

Architect Josef Bieling completed St. Elisabeth Church between 1956 and 1957, introducing a column-free design known as Saalkirche in post-war Germany.

The church contains distinctive artistic elements, including stained glass windows updated in 1973 and mosaics designed by Gerhard Dechant.

St. Elisabeth Church serves multiple communities, including university students and residents of senior homes, through regular services and community gatherings.

The church structure incorporates two connected trapezoids with a rounded altar area and includes a tall freestanding bell tower initially designed without enclosure.
