Guided Story

In front of you stands the St. Matthias Burial Church, a notable example of post-war architecture. Designed by Peter Salm and constructed between 1947 and 1949, it marries modern elements with traditional church structures. Dedicated to Apostle Matthias, this Catholic filial church holds a special spiritual significance. As you look to your right, notice the clean lines and simple facade that reflect the spirit of the era's construction style. Here in the Günhoven community, you find a place of peace and reflection, away from the bustle of city life. Just a short walk south, you'll find the Chapel “Zum hl. Nikolaus,” while to the northeast lies the Chapel "zur unbefleckten Empfängnis." Both are quiet witnesses to the rich ecclesiastical tradition of this area.
