The Church of Corpus Christi in Aachen, Germany was designed in 1930 by Rudolph Schwartz (1897–1961) with assistance from Hans Schwippert. Schwartz was an architect, priest, and Mies van der Rohe associate whose work was considered a primer for church building. He authored The Church Incarnate and proposed Six Plans to embrace worship in the Christian Church.
