Guided Story

Take a moment to observe the clean, geometric lines of the church, a hallmark of New Objectivity architecture by Alfons Leitl. St. Barbara was constructed between 1953 and 1955, embodying a simple elegance. This church serves as a vibrant archive for the Dümpten community. In 1968, the interior was redesigned following the Second Vatican Council, with a new altar being installed. If you look to the south, you’ll notice the parish office, just a short distance away. This church stands as a central point, preserving the community's faith and history.
