Heilig-Kreuz-Kapelle, Catholic chapel in Dachau, Germany
The Heilig-Kreuz-Kapelle stands with its white walls and solemn architectural design, featuring a 30-meter tower adorned with five bronze bells.
The chapel emerged from the transformation of Dachau's post-war landscape, where Father Leonhard Roth established religious services for former camp inhabitants in 1945.
Bronze depictions of 15 Stations of the Cross, created by Munich sculptor Roland Friederichsen in 1968, line the chapel's side walls.
The chapel functions both as a ceremonial space and weekday church, equipped with modern concrete altar facilities and seating arrangements.
The memorial courtyard contains a concrete cross that represents the experiences of concentration camp prisoners during World War II.
