Christuskirche, Protestant church in Neustadt-Nord, Cologne, Germany.
Description
Christuskirche combines a modern nave built in 2016 with a historic tower preserved from the 1890s. The windows designed by artist David Schnell create distinctive light effects throughout the interior space.
History
The building originates from the late 1800s when it first served the community. A major renovation between 2014 and 2016 modernized the interior while keeping the original tower intact.
Culture
The basement serves as a gathering space where the community hosts events and musical performances regularly. This lower level transforms the building into an active social hub beyond its religious purpose.
Practical
The church sits near Friesenplatz station and is easily accessible by tram lines 3, 4, 5, 12, and 15. Entry is free and the building offers barrier-free access throughout.
Did you know?
The space holds a notable place in music history when Joy Division performed one of their only two German concerts here in 1980. This performance remains a significant moment in the venue's past.
