Because of its remarkable stylistic unity, the parish church St. Michael's in the suburb Trier-Mariahof represents an important example of contemporary ecclesiastical architecture.

The church was designed by K. Schmitz and built in 1969 as a spacious step pyramid. The front windows, on either side of the entrance, were designed by J. Schwarzkopf. O. H. Hajek worked both as painter and sculptor in the sanctuary (1979-1985). He created the altar island from fine, light-coloured smoky quartz, a unit composed of individual elements to be viewed from various perspectives. It is underlined optically by the picture cycle "Signs along the Way". www.trier-info.de
