St. Gertrud, Catholic church in Neustadt-Nord, Cologne, Germany.

The interior of Sankt Gertrud contains liturgical elements integrated into concrete walls, including an ambo and confessionals extending from massive structures.

Architect Gottfried Böhm designed this concrete church in 1960, marking his first major project using tent-roof construction techniques in religious architecture.

The church functions as a community center where art exhibitions and concerts take place, connecting religious practice with neighborhood activities.

Sankt Gertrud stands at Krefelder Straße 45, featuring a free-standing tower and three narrow gable walls that step back from the street.

The building received the Kölner Architekturpreis in 1967 for its innovative design that combines raw concrete forms with modern architectural principles.
