Suburban Department Store and Parish Church

Vorstadtkaufhaus und Pfarrkirche

 

Kaufhaus Konrad und Herz-Jesu-Kirche in Pfersee, einem Stadtteil von Augsburg

 

In Pfersee, which "is a part of the city of Augsburg, Bavaria with some 25.000 inhabitants. [...] In 1911 Pfersee was incorporated to Augsburg." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfersee

In the second half of the 19th century, industry settled in the small village of Pfersee and the population grew at a rapid pace. The old parish church quickly became much too small, and so the construction of a new, large parish church became necessary. The Herz-Jesu-Kirche (Church of the Sacred Heart) with its 72 meter high tower, visible from afar and towering over factory chimneys, was consecrated in 1910. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herz-Jesu-Kirche_(Augsburg)
