St. Benedikt, Catholic church in Neuhaus im Solling, Germany

St. Benedikt is a Catholic church on Federal Road 497 in Neuhaus im Solling, built from reinforced concrete clad in Obernkirchen sandstone. Its steep roof slopes down from left to right, and a tall glass curtain wall with clear lower panes and darker upper panes fills the left facade. A concrete ramp with a metal railing leads to the entrance on the right.

Construction of the church began in summer 1974, and Bishop Heinrich Maria Janssen consecrated it on May 29, 1976. The architect Hubert Ohmes combined reinforced concrete with traditional sandstone elements in the design.

The three bells in the freestanding concrete tower were cast by Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock and consecrated in 1986; they are named Maria, Benedikt and Georg. A couple from Neuhaus donated them, and because the husband was called Georg, the smallest bell took his patron's name. The church's side patron is Saint Adalhard, recalled by a relief by Hanns Joachim Klug.

The church stands at Am Langenberg 4, at the junction of Federal Road 497 and Am Roten Wasser. The entrance is through a portal on the southeast side, reached by a concrete ramp with a metal railing. The freestanding bell tower of exposed concrete stands apart from the main building.

The three bells in the freestanding concrete tower were cast by Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock and consecrated in 1986; they are named Maria, Benedikt and Georg. A couple from Neuhaus donated them, and because the husband was called Georg, the smallest bell took his patron's name in thanks.
