St. Peter und Paul is a Catholic church and parish in the borough of Schierstein, Wiesbaden, Hesse, Germany.
The Catholic church in Schierstein, part of Wiesbaden, was designed by Johannes Traut, completed in 1967 [1] and consecrated in 1968, dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul. [2] The parish is part of the Diocese of Limburg. [1]
The church is built on a parabolic floorplan, with a separate bell tower. It features a pentaptychon by Helga Hein-Guardian, and a pipe organ built by Klais [1] in 1970, with 27 stops on two manuals and pedal. [3]
A garden behind the church, Bibelgarten, features plants mentioned in the Bible, with explanations. [4]
As of 1 January 2013, St. Peter und Paul became a merged parish with eight former parishes, also including St. Klara in Klarenthal, St. Josef and Mariä Heimsuchung in Dotzheim, St. Georg und Katharina in Frauenstein, and four parishes in Biebrich: St. Hedwig, St. Kilian , Herz Jesu and St. Marien .
