The tabernacle and the cross were crafted by Jean Thill, the baptismal font by Thill and Schmit.[2] The 307 m2 (3,300 sq ft) abstract glass concrete windows were created by Mett Hoffmann and Jean Thill.[4] The doors were designed by Maggy Stein and show the Creation on one side and the tree of life on the other.[5]
