St. Bonifatius Kirche (St. Bonifatius Church), Heidelberg

Saint Boniface, a Catholic church built between 1899 and 1903, was designed by Ludwig Maier. It is a purely Neo-Romanesque architecture, with a transept inside and twin towers out front. By 1925 the congregation had grown to over 8,000 members and in 1976 its interior was renovated. The contrast of light limestone and red sandstone form its unique color palette.
