Sankt Sakrament is a brutalist church in Düsseldorf-Heerdt, Germany, designed by Philipp Wilhelm Stang and completed in 1940. Built during the Nazi era, the structure served a dual purpose as both a functioning church and an air-raid shelter, a practical necessity for the period. Its bold brutalist forms—characteristic of the style's emphasis on massive concrete volumes and stark geometric shapes—distinguish it architecturally. The building is recognized as an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, preserving an important example of religious modernism adapted to the exigencies of wartime.
