Bruder Klaus

Bruder Klaus is a Catholic church with a rectangular nave and elevated choir section built into its design. The building features natural stone walls and rectangular concrete windows filled with clear glass that allow steady light throughout the interior.

Construction took place between 1961 and 1966 to serve the growing Catholic population in a town that had been predominantly Protestant. This building marked a significant religious shift in the local community.

The church is named after Saint Niklaus von Flüe, a Swiss farmer and mystic venerated as a religious figure in medieval Alpine regions. This naming connects the community to an important tradition of rural spirituality.

When planning a visit, keep in mind that the parish office operates during specific weekday hours. It is best to schedule your visit during the times when staff are present to answer questions.

The bell system was installed in 1973 and consists of four bells cast by Friedrich Wilhelm Schilling. These bells are connected to the tower clock and ring on the hour and quarter-hour throughout the day.
