Versöhnungskirche, Neobaroque Protestant church in Völklingen, Germany.
Description
The Versöhnungskirche is a neobaroque Protestant church in Völklingen with a 66-meter tower featuring clocks on all four sides. Inside, the space has an oval shape covered by a coffered flat dome.
History
This building was constructed after a fire in 1922 destroyed the previous Martin's Church. Construction began in 1926 and was completed with the dedication in May 1928.
Culture
The facade displays sculptures representing work, mercy, love, and fidelity, created by sculptor Wilhelm Rahtz from Heidelberg. These figures shape the building's appearance and reflect the values that were important to the congregation.
