Heilig-Geist-Kirche, Modern Catholic church in Hagen-Mitte, Germany.
Description
The Heilig-Geist-Kirche is a modern church building featuring a distinctive cylindrical brick bell tower with a pointed roof rising above the main structure. The design combines a rectangular hall with this prominent tower that stands apart from the nave.
History
Architect Dominikus Böhm designed this church as his final major project before its consecration in 1954. The completion marked a shift in postwar church architecture and demonstrated an innovative approach to modern building forms.
Culture
The interior displays stucco ceilings with stylized fire tongues representing Pentecost, and stained glass windows show the seven sacraments and constellations. These artistic elements shape the space and tell Christian stories through visual symbols.
Practical
The building is generally accessible to visitors during certain hours, so it is advisable to check opening times beforehand. The modern structure sits centrally in the city and is easily reached by public transportation.
