St. Hildegard in der Au

The church stands on an almost square floor plan with two parabolic rounded corners at a street intersection in the Nippes district.

Stefan Leuer designed this Catholic church, which opened its doors to worshippers on the first Sunday of Advent in 1961.

The building features stone thorn bushes with a ram lamb on the central altar table, emphasizing its function as a sacrificial table.

The church maintained regular religious services and community gatherings until September 20, 2020, when it held its final ceremonial mass.

The church's facade contains small square windows that direct light into the interior space in specific patterns throughout the day.
