Zu den Heiligen Engeln

Zu den Heiligen Engeln is a Catholic parish church in Landsberg am Lech, rising above the Lech riverbank among newer residential areas. Architect Josef Theodor Wiedemann designed its modern form. A four-metre wall encloses the complex, while the folded roof climbs into twelve peaks that suggest angel wings or a tent. White plaster now covers the original visible brickwork.

Inside, a square plan contains a circle, placing the altar at the centre and arranging the pews in a three-quarter circle around it. Twelve main arms visibly support the high roof. Brick, reinforced concrete and timber remain exposed, while daylight falls directly onto the baptismal font through the northeastern chapel’s ceiling opening. A southeastern side chapel completes the interior.

The central arrangement reflects liturgical ideas from the Second Vatican Council, and the ambo stands beside the altar instead of a traditional pulpit. A reproduction of the Ulrich Cross hangs above. An angel tapestry by Sister Animata Probst, embroidered Stations of the Cross, and a Sandtner organ add distinct interior details. Stone steles by Josef Gehringer continue the story in the courtyard.
