Christuskirche, Protestant church in Schwelm, Germany
The Christuskirche features two prominent towers and three naves with a large gallery that provides seating for over one thousand congregation members.
Built between 1842 and 1849, the church underwent reconstruction in 1952 following severe damage during a March 1945 air raid, receiving new tower spires in 1968.
The church received a new organ by builder Reinhart Tzschöckel in 1992, enhancing its musical capabilities for religious services and performances.
The church requires extensive renovation due to structural issues caused by the geological foundation of Schwelm limestone, which affects the stability of both towers.
The building stands on Schwelm mass limestone, known for deep leaching through carbonic acid-containing seepage water, causing the towers to drift apart.
