Christuskirche, Gothic Revival church in Lüdenscheid, Germany
Description
Christuskirche is a Gothic Revival church in Lüdenscheid featuring a slender tower that rises about 61.5 meters high. Two large wheel windows, each 8 meters across, define the appearance of the transept and flood the interior with light.
History
The building was constructed between 1900 and 1902 under architect Gerhard August Fischer from Barmen. It was built to serve the growing Protestant population of the city.
Culture
The church draws its name from Christ and expresses this through artworks inside that show different roles of Jesus. The large rose window and other sculptures make these Christian meanings visible as you move through the building.
Practical
The interior accommodates around 1,200 visitors and ranks among the largest religious buildings in the region. Check accessibility and layout before visiting, especially if services or events are taking place.
Did you know?
The tower clock at 61.5 meters high requires manual winding every five days and was the first mechanism of its kind. This handcrafted detail shows how even modern church buildings relied on traditional techniques.
