St. Petrus Canisius, Catholic church in Buchforst, Germany.
The church building features a basilica design with high concrete beams, elevated nave, single-story side aisles, and a square tower rising from the entrance portico.
Architects Wilhelm Riphahn and Caspar Maria Grod designed the church in 1930, following the principles of New Building architecture with emphasis on liturgical functions.
The interior includes stained glass windows by Wilhelm de Graaff depicting scenes from the life of Saint Peter Canisius, the first German Jesuit and religious reformer.
The church stands at Eulerstraße 2 in Cologne's Buchforst district, serving the local Catholic community as part of the St. Mauritius parish since 2006.
A twelve-meter-high cross created by Heribert Calleen in 1962 adorns the tower, while the five-tone bells were cast by Mabilon foundry in 1957.
