Heilig Kreuz, Architectural heritage monument in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
The Heilig Kreuz Church features dark brick walls, parabolic vaults, and rectangular stained glass windows, exemplifying expressionist architecture of the 1920s.
Built between 1927 and 1929 by architect Josef Franke, the church served the Catholic community for 80 years until its closure in 2007.
The structure transformed from a religious building into a cultural center, now hosting concerts, events, and community gatherings for up to 800 visitors.
Located at Bochumer Straße 113 in Gelsenkirchen, the building received nearly 10 million euros in funding for renovation and modernization.
The church nave stands as the second largest example of German brick expressionism, alongside the church at Berlin's Hollenzollernplatz.
