History
[edit]The Catholic church in Schierstein, part of Wiesbaden, was designed by Johannes Traut, completed in 1967[1] and consecrated in 1968, dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul.[2] The parish is part of the Diocese of Limburg.[1]
Building
[edit]The church is built on a parabolic floorplan, with a separate bell tower. It features a pentaptychon by Helga Hein-Guardian, and a pipe organ built by Klais[1] in 1970, with 27 stops on two manuals and pedal.[3]
A garden behind the church, Bibelgarten, features plants mentioned in the Bible, with explanations.[4]
