St. Elisabeth

St. Elisabeth is a Catholic church in the Rauental district built between 1953 and 1954 after the original structure was destroyed during World War II. The building displays a trapezoidal floor plan with a semicircular choir section, constructed from reinforced concrete and brick.

The original church was built in 1933 but was destroyed in 1944 during wartime bombing. Reconstruction began shortly after and shaped the building that stands today.

The church is named after Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia, a figure known for her charitable work and compassion. This dedication shapes how the community sees itself and its values.

As an active parish church, it offers regular services and sacramental activities for community members and visitors. Information about worship times and events can be found through the parish website and local notice boards.

Since 2012, the church has developed into a youth center called X-Ground that attracts young people from Koblenz and surrounding areas. This shows how the building has expanded its purpose to meet contemporary needs.
