Heiligkreuzkirche

As you look around, notice how the natural light streams through the tall windows, gently illuminating the circular walls. This church you're stepping into is a masterpiece of the 1950s and was the first central Catholic church built in Germany during that era. Imagine Richard Jörg, the architect, standing here, realizing his vision of a space filled with light and harmony. Take in the simple lines and clear structure that exude a calming simplicity. Did you know this church stands in contrast to the more traditional buildings of the city? Behind you, to the west, is St. Achatius Church, offering a glimpse into the architecture of earlier times. The Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche shows how the face of the city has changed over the years.
