St. Kunigundis, Roman Catholic church in Bettenhausen, Kassel, Germany
St. Kunigundis is a Roman Catholic church in the Bettenhausen neighborhood featuring a structure about 50 meters long and 16 meters wide. A prominent bell tower rises approximately 38 meters and defines the local skyline.
The cornerstone was laid in 1925, and the building was consecrated in 1927. It was the first Catholic church in the region constructed with prestressed concrete technology.
The interior features mosaics showing Christ enthroned and surrounded by saints including Kunigunde and Heinrich. These artworks shape how the church looks and feels to visitors today.
The building is undergoing renovation and only certain areas are currently accessible for community activities. Visitors should inquire ahead to learn which sections are open.
The interior mosaics were created by Walter Klocke in 1942 and represent religious craftsmanship of that era. These works have endured for decades and continue to shape the interior's appearance.
