Evangelische Erlöserkirche, Protestant church building in Übach, Übach-Palenberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

The Evangelische Erlöserkirche is a flat-roofed church of massive, unadorned cubes, designed by Aachen architect Johannes Everling and dedicated on 19 June 1932. Its tall, rectangular tower is topped by a thin dark cross and pierced by three deep arched openings. The nave was plastered and painted white after the war, the tower only in the 1960s, giving the building its popular name "Weiße Kirche".

The Geilenkirchen-Hünshoven parish commissioned the church after a 1928 neo-baroque design by Arno Eugen Fritsche was dropped; Aachen architect Johannes Everling built it in under a year, and Ernst Stoltenhoff, general superintendent of the Rhenish provincial church, inaugurated it on 19 June 1932. During the war it served as a military hospital and car workshop, and artillery fire in late 1944 caused heavy damage; the organ was destroyed and usable material was taken by the population. Rebuilding began in 1948 and the church was back in service on the third Advent of 1950.

The nickname "Weiße Kirche" (White Church) comes from the white paint applied to the nave after the war and to the tower in the 1960s. The church holds two steel bells cast in 1909 at the Bochumer Verein, still hanging in the tower today. On the chancel wall is the verse from Job 19:25, "Ich weiß, dass mein Erlöser lebt."

The church is located along Maastrichter Straße and is easily accessible on foot from Übach-Palenberg's center. Access is via a small street called Carolus-Magnus-Allee, and the entrance area was updated after the war with a glass-enclosed vestibule.

The church was not originally painted white; the bright facade was added only in the 1960s and changed its appearance significantly. The original exposed brickwork gave it an industrial look that aligned it more closely with the nearby factory buildings and worker housing.
