Saardom

The so-called Saardom (full name: "Ecclesia Parochialis Catholica Sacratissimi Sacramenti Dioecesis Treverensis", "Catholic Parish Church of the Blessed Sacrament in the Diocese of Trier") in Dillingen/Saar is one of the largest sacred buildings in Saarland.

The church was built between 1910 and 1913 according to plans by the Trier church-architect Peter Marx (1871-1958),[1] mainly in the Neo-Romanesque style.

[11][12] The explosion of an ammunition train at the Dillingen (Saar) station in 1944 as a consequence of an air raid in World War II caused severe damage.

A German tank, which was standing next to the Saardom, attracted American fire, which caused additional damage to the church: Vaults had partially collapsed, stones broken out, windows burst by explosion blasts.

The vestibule with the figurine frieze and the crowning crucifixion group, the large rose window and the overlying arcade with the final triangular pediment were shot to pieces.
