St. Theresia
In Germany, St. Theresia rises above its neighbourhood on an elevated platform, crowned by a forty-five-metre tower. Philipp von Kremer completed the church in 1900, using neobaroque forms inspired by early Carmelite churches.
For 125 years, the building served as a Carmelite monastery church and later connected with St. Wolfgang parish. Painted ceilings, marble altars and choral music once filled the nave beneath its high interior. An organ installed in 1902 carried deep tones through worship, celebrations and the aftermath of Second World War bombing. Restoration preserved the building after severe damage, while its religious role ended with deconsecration in 2024.
Today, exhibitions, concerts and community gatherings bring new activity into the former church. A Swiss architect leads renovations that preserve the historic façade while opening the interior to artistic work and encounters. Three bells remain in the tower, linking the cultural venue to its long ecclesiastical history.
