Christuskirche, Gothic Revival church in Koblenz, Germany.
Christuskirche is a Gothic Revival church in Koblenz featuring asymmetrical forms and varied roof shapes that create visual interest. Its tower rises at the northeast corner without its original spires and decorative elements, while inside the ceiling is modern and simplified rather than featuring the original vaulted structure.
Construction began in 1901 and finished in 1904 under Berlin architect Johannes Vollmer's design. The building suffered severe damage during World War II but was reconstructed and reopened between 1951 and 1954.
The church serves as a Protestant gathering place in the city center, where the interior reflects modern preferences over its original Gothic Revival details. This community worship space remains important to residents for their spiritual life and gatherings.
The building sits along Friedrich-Ebert-Ring, Koblenz's main street, making it easy to reach on foot. Its central location makes it a natural point of reference when exploring the city center.
Unlike most churches that face east, this building aligns with Friedrich-Ebert-Ring's grand boulevard. The unusual orientation shows how the structure adapted to fit the city's urban layout and design.
