The church of St. Christophorus, located in downtown Wolfsburg (Antonius-Holling-Weg 21) and named after the patron of motorists, is today the oldest and largest Catholic church in Wolfsburg. The listed church was built in 1950/51 to plans by Peter Koller and belongs to the deanery Wolfsburg-Helmstedt in the diocese of Hildesheim.
Next to the main entrance of the church, which is about 63 meters above sea level, there are stone tablets with the Ten Commandments, which were retired in 2013 on the occasion of the entrance of Pastor Heinrich Günther.
The interior of the church is a bright hall-shaped building without pillars, so that from each of the 440 seats a free view to the semicircular sanctuary is possible. Parts of the interior created the Wolfsburg goldsmith master Raimund Lange (1928-2006).

The Marienkapelle, consecrated on September 8, 1953, has 42 seats. On 22 August 1954, a statue of Mary was placed in her, which had been brought with a Volkswagen from the Portuguese pilgrimage Fátima. In the side chapels on the east side of the Chapel of St. Mary, since 1954, there are statues of the sisters' patron saint, St. Maria Goretti, as well as of St. Anthony of Padua and Judas Thaddeus. On the west side of the Marienkapelle is a representation of the Archangel Michael. In the passageway between the church and the Marienkapelle a Pietà has its place, which still comes from the emergency chapel.
