Corpus Christi Church, Aix-la-Chapelle

The revolutionary construction of Corpus Christi in Aix-la-Chapelle began in 1928 and the first mass was celebrated in 1930. It was planned by the Architect Rudolf Schwarz in cooperation with his colleague Hans Schwippert. Due to its uncompromising cubic design language and its stringent theological concept, the church of Corpus Christi represents a key work of modern sacred architecture.

Trinity Church

The Trinity Church, built between 1897 and 1899, is the largest Protestant church in Aachen. During the Second World War, the church was severely damaged and the building remained empty for several years. In 1948, restoration work was finally undertaken, and the church was put back into use in 1955. Abandoned as a parish church since 2006, it is now used for religious events with young people (Jugendkirche).
