St. Mariä Himmelfahrt (Wittenbruchplatz)

Here you stand before a remarkable piece of modern architecture: St. Mariä Himmelfahrt. Built in 1963 by architect Josef Lehmbrock, this church is a striking example of Brutalist architecture. Notice the bold lines and massive structures that define this style. As the only Roman Catholic church in the Unterbach district, it holds a unique place in the community. Since its parish merged, it forms part of a larger community with St. Johannes der Täufer in Erkrath. Observe the facade, showcasing the typical stark and geometric language of that architectural era. This church is not only a place of worship but also a testament to Düsseldorf's architectural history.
