Autobahnkirche St. Christophorus, Road church near A5 motorway in Baden-Baden, Germany
The Autobahnkirche St. Christophorus features a pyramid shape with surrounding window walls and enamel doors that form a cross within the structure.
Following a design competition in 1976, architect Friedrich Zwingmann created this sanctuary, which Bishop Karl Gnädinger consecrated on July 23, 1978.
The sculptor Emil Wachter designed extensive religious artworks throughout the building, including wall decorations, roof elements, altars, and exterior installations.
Located at the Baden-Baden rest area on the A5 motorway, this church welcomes 300,000 visitors annually and offers regular contemplation sessions every Tuesday evening.
Four maple tree avenues arranged in a cruciform pattern lead to the church, each ending with a concrete pillar marking the sacred grounds.
