Guided Story
Can you hear the birds chirping in the trees around the church? This peaceful soundscape accompanies you as you ascend the steps of St. Eugenius. Look up, and you'll see the freestanding bell tower. It was added a few years after the church itself, but its four bells have long become an integral part of the Mittelfeld neighborhood. They chime not only for services but also mark the rhythm of daily life here. Turn around and take in the simple brick facade. It speaks of a time when simplicity and functionality were paramount. This church is a place of peace and reflection, a silent witness to the history of this part of the city.
