The Propsteikirche St. Trinitatis in Leipzig's city centre is a Catholic parish church opened in 2015 and the largest built in the new German states since reunification. Designed by architects Schulz und Schulz following a competition win, the postmodern structure received the "Religious building of the year" prize at the World Architecture Festival 2016. Located at the southwestern corner of the Inner City Ring Road, the building complex is organized around a triangular plan: the church sanctuary with chapel and sacristy occupy the eastern wing, while the western section houses a congregational hall, parish offices, and residential quarters for clergy. A striking 50-metre bell tower marks the triangle's western apex. A notable northern window by Leipzig artist Falk Haberkorn, manufactured by the Derix company, features Old and New Testament texts that shift in appearance with changing light and time of day. The church represents a return to the city centre after its predecessor—a functionally modest 1982 East German building with serious structural flaws—had occupied a suburban location.
