Hugo Schlösser’s vision took shape in Stuttgart-Degerloch. Mariä Himmelfahrt stands before you. This Roman Catholic parish church is a protected cultural monument. It falls under the Denkmalschutzgesetz. The church belongs to the Stadtdekanat Stuttgart. It is part of the Diözese Rottenburg-Stuttgart.
Built between 1925 and 1927, Mariä Himmelfahrt showcases expressionist architecture. The hall church design is unique. Notice the long nave. It features a central aisle and a narrow side aisle. To the east, observe the rectangular choir. The octagonal church tower rises from the northwest corner.
Inside Mariä Himmelfahrt, a wooden beam ceiling spans the interior. Wilhelm Geyer designed the stained glass windows in 1954. Otto Herbert Hajek crafted the altar. He also created the tabernacle and baptismal font. Look for the Pietà. Friedrich Thuma created it in 1927. Gebhard Fugel painted the Stations of the Cross in 1929. The organ was built in 1965 by Orgelbau Friedrich Weigle as Opus 1128.
