St. Mauritius, Brutalist church building in Saarbrücken, Germany
St. Mauritius features a hexagonal layout with concrete pillars that branch into the roof slope, creating an abstract interpretation of cross vaulting.
The church construction began in 1953 under architects Albert Dietz and Bernhard Grothe, responding to increased Catholic population after World War II.
The church served as a spiritual center for the Bellevue district until 2003, when it became the first deconsecrated church in Saarbrücken.
Visitors enter through the ground floor of a 37-meter concrete tower, accessing the church space through four large portals on the western side.
The building includes abstract stained glass windows on the south side and specially designed windows by Karl-Heinz Grünewald on the north side.
