Christuskirche, Lutheran church in Wiehre district, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
Christuskirche is a Protestant church in Freiburg's Wiehre district featuring a slender tower crowned with a tall spire. The building follows a cross-shaped layout inspired by Italian Renaissance design principles.
Built between 1889 and 1891 by architect Ludwig Diemer, the church was designed to serve the growing Protestant community in Freiburg. The structure was conceived from the start to accommodate worshippers in a substantial space.
The church serves as a gathering place for the local Protestant community and hosts musical events throughout the year. These activities give the building a living role in the neighborhood beyond its religious function.
The church is located at the intersection of Zasiusstrasse and Turnseestrasse and can be reached easily on foot from the surrounding neighborhood. Visit during concerts or regular service times when the building is open for public access.
The church organ is a substantial instrument with 39 registers spread across three manuals and pedals, creating a rich sound. The organ was installed in 1980 and underwent comprehensive renovation work in 2020 to restore its full musical capabilities.
