Christ König, Modern Catholic church in Uellendahl-Katernberg, Wuppertal, Germany
The church features a rectangular floor plan with local rubble stone construction and a continuous band of natural light encircling the upper structure.
Architect Joachim Schürmann designed and constructed Christ König between 1959 and 1960 to serve the increased population in Wuppertaler Nordhöhen after World War II.
The interior walls contain Stations of the Cross carved directly into ungrouted stone blocks by Wuppertal artist Krzysztof Juretko starting from the year 2000.
The church complex includes a community hall and rectory, offering multiple spaces for religious and social gatherings within the same architectural ensemble.
The building intentionally omits traditional church elements like towers and decorative façades, focusing instead on creating an contemplative interior space.
