Notkirche Saarbrücken, Protestant church in Alt-Saarbrücken, Germany.
Description
Notkirche Saarbrücken is a Protestant church located in the Alt-Saarbrücken district with modest dimensions and a simple structure. The building features a flat gable roof and a bell tower on Spichererbergstrasse, with an interior that seats approximately 150 people.
History
The building was originally constructed as a military barracks in Switzerland during World War II. After the war ended, the structure was donated to Saarbrücken's Protestant congregation in 1946 to serve religious needs following wartime destruction.
Culture
Hungarian artist György Lehoczky created stained glass windows above the altar portraying the four evangelists. His painted beatitudes adorn the crossbeams throughout the interior.
Practical
The interior can feel tight when filled to capacity, so visiting during less crowded times is advisable. Modern LED lighting installed in 2022 improves visibility and creates a welcoming environment.
Did you know?
The building stands near the graves of three soldiers from the Hohenzollern Fusilier Regiment No. 40, a history that influenced its current name. This connection to military history gives the modest structure a deeper significance beyond its role as a place of worship.
