Raue as a multi-purpose building and includes the church as well as the St. Thomas Chapel, the parish office, the parish hall, various meeting rooms and the apartments of the priest and the sacristan family. The interior of the church is characterised by its simple, clear architecture: it is consistently oriented towards the centre, towards the altar. The artistic design of the church was in the hands of the sculptor Max Faller, Munich. The organ was built by Rudolf von Beckerath Orgelbau, Hamburg. It has 18 stops on two manuals and pedal. Between 1987 and 1989, four monumental paintings by the painter Karl Köhler were added. In 2010, Köhler's paintings were replaced in favor of a simple body of Christ on the wall behind the altar.
