This is the Church of the Holy Cross (Heilig Kreuz) in the Silesian Quarter, one of the flasher bits of Mainz.

Stunningly bold, given that it dates back to 1952.

Obviously didn’t get to go inside – churches get locked in Germany – but I’m reliably told that the central structure has 13 segments (participants of the Last Supper, number of apostles etc).

Looks a bit too much like the Beehive for my liking.

Now, THAT’s a bunch of gasbags….
