Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, Secularized concrete church in Ehrenbreitstein, Koblenz, Germany.
The Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche stands near the Rhine River, featuring a modernist concrete structure built between 1962 and 1964 following wartime destruction.
The original church, constructed from 1702 to 1707 by architect Philipp Honorius von Ravensteyn, was completely destroyed during air raids on December 31, 1944.
The building transitioned from religious services to cultural purposes in 2010, leading to its formal secularization by Bishop Jörg Michael Peters in 2017.
The church structure maintains its position at coordinates 50.3597°N and 7.61344°E, now housing an architectural firm that plans to install glass elements.
This religious building evolved from an Augustinian monastery chapel destroyed in the Thirty Years' War to its current status as part of UNESCO's Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
