Propsteikirche, Leipzig, Catholic parish church near Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz, Leipzig, Germany.
Propsteikirche St. Trinitatis is a modern parish church with a distinctive red porphyry stone facade and a tower rising above the square. The building encompasses not only the church but also a congregation hall, chapel, offices, and residential units within an integrated complex.
A place of worship existed at this location since 1847, but was damaged in World War II and torn down in 1954. After decades of searching for a new site and using temporary locations, the current building was completed in 2015.
The church is named after the Holy Trinity and displays artistic elements that reflect the spiritual life of the parish community. The expansive windows and interior spaces invite visitors to pause and create room for reflection and gathering.
The church entrance is easily recognizable from outside, and the interior is well lit by natural light, making navigation straightforward. The adjacent congregation hall and chapel offer additional spaces to explore and discover.
A monumental window by Falk Haberkorn displays texts from both testaments that shift in appearance depending on the time of day. This artistic element connects the religious message with the changing light throughout the day.
