St. Augustine Catholic Church

The church of St. Augustine was consecrated in 1954 and held its last service on August 30, 1964. It had become too small and due to high renovation costs, it was decided to build a new, larger church.

The current church was consecrated on August 25, 1966; it also bears the name of the great church teacher St. Augustine. The church resembles the prow of a ship and its landmark is the 40-metre-high tower.

Special features include

• the altar, which is made from a block of Willingen slate
• the protective mantle Madonna by Ernst Suberg (died 1987)
• the icons of Christ and St. Anthony, which were created by Peter Jegor
• the Stations of the Cross made of local slate (E. Suberg)
• the sacrament tower, which refers to the many-gated Heavenly Jerusalem and depicts the "Lamb of God" in the middle of the tabernacle door.

Under the organ stage, the blue windows are reminiscent of the water of baptism.
