A colorful play of light in an open, bright space is revealed when one enters the church of St. Peter in Ingolstadt. It is a hall church made of exposed concrete with a straight chancel end and side chapel, which are complemented in many places by artistic decorative elements: a wall hanging by Resl Elfinger, an altarpiece by Oskar Koller and Alpheda Puluj-Hohenthal's 25m-long east wall with colorful glass blocks showing scenes from Jesus' life. These elements are in deliberate contrast to the rough walls, which show the pattern of wooden boarding.

The main space of the church is supported by four reinforced concrete columns. The perimeter walls "float" three meters above the ground. Brown oak face paving cladds the floor and the altar is built out of white Jurassic marble. A concrete relief by artist Pius Eichlinger accents the main entrance. Outside, a freestanding bell tower with seemingly interlocking concrete slabs announces the church from afar. The tower is marked with a cross in the concrete and a metal cross on the top edge. The complex is complemented by municipal buildings by the same architect.

The whole ensemble of the St. Peter Church is heritage protected (last updated on September 27, 2024).
