Guided Story

Take a moment to observe the church's striking white facade. Completed in 1954, it showcases a blend of modern architecture with traditional elements. Designed by Julius Schmidt, the cross-shaped layout is something you can almost feel from where you stand. Above the chancel, the bell tower rises gracefully—a key feature of this structure. As you walk around, notice how the design harmoniously combines modern construction with elements of heritage architecture. The Roman Catholic Church of the Twelve Apostles is not just a place of worship but also a testament to its time's architectural spirit. You might even hear the gentle peal of the bells, echoing across the Schlachtensee neighborhood for decades.
