St. Gregorius, Roman Catholic parish church in Burtscheid, Germany
The St. Gregorius Church features a circular columbarium in its crypt, constructed with warm-toned beech plywood and black steel urns for memorial purposes.
Stefan Leuer, who studied at Technical University of Aachen, designed this church between 1962 and 1965 during his active period of ecclesiastical architecture.
The church includes artistic elements such as a backlit bronze crucifix by Benno Werth and Stations of the Cross created by Herbert Falken.
The columbarium contains urn recesses of different sizes that accommodate family graves, with inscriptions showing names and dates of the deceased.
After fifteen years, the ashes from the columbarium transfer to the aeternum garden, marked by a 3.5-meter yellow tamped concrete wall.
