Kreuzkirche, Gothic Revival church in Herne, Germany.

The Kreuzkirche features red brick construction with sandstone elements, rising to a height of 57.5 meters with a main hall length of 44 meters.

Construction began on May 2, 1873, after the previous St. Dionysius Church became too small for the growing congregation in the expanding industrial region.

The church houses stained glass windows created between 1951 and 1953 by painter Rudolf Fuchs, adding artistic elements to the religious space.

The Kreuzkirche, located at Europaplatz in central Herne, serves as both a religious center and a venue for the annual Early Music Days in November.

The church contains an organ from 1877 that underwent multiple expansions before being restored to its original condition in 2010.
