Evangelische Kreuzkirche

In the west of the market town of Völs is the "Predigstation Kreuzkirche Völs". The interior of the simple small church is characterized by the statue of the Risen Christ, which rises in front of the cross. The large freestanding cross in the forecourt gave the church its name. A mosaic depiction of the sinking Peter, created by parish member and artist Heinz Scheffler, adorns the entrance wall. The Kreuzkirche was built in 1959 in connection with the establishment of the Friedenssiedlung, where refugees from formerly German-settled areas of Eastern Europe found a new home. Its history is inseparably linked with the work of Pastor Daniel Diel.
