Nice Take.
In my hometown there is a former church from about the same time, which resembles the same shape with its portal arches.
The shape of the parabolic arches is reminiscent of steel tubbings, which were used in mining to support the tunnels.
Build from bricks as well.

Architect was Josel Franke https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Franke_(Architekt,_1876)
He did a few projects and buildings in the greater area.

I may have a few photos from the time as it still was considered a operational church.

And yeah - obviously the town was grown on coal and steel and for many of us the structural archetypes are still present on the mind.

Indeed great shot Luc!

Great capture of the doomsday light and mood. Strong stuff.

Thank you, Thomas.  It was indeed scary.
