St.-Paulus-Kirche, Parish church in Velbert, Germany.
St. Paulus Church features grey slate facades, a curved entrance portal rising to 13 meters, and extensive glass surfaces illuminating the interior space.
Construction of the church took place between 1954 and 1955, following designs by architect Gottfried Böhm, marking an early work in his architectural career.
The altar backdrop spans 10 by 6 meters, created by sculptor Jochem Pechau, depicting the Tree of Life motif with reference to biblical teachings.
The church offers confession sessions on Advent Sundays before Mass times and coordinates food assistance programs through regular donation drives.
The building's distinctive curved form earned it the local nickname 'God's Ski Jump' due to its northeast-sloping roof design.
