City church Herborn, Medieval church in Herborn, Germany

The Evangelical City Church rises on a hill in the western part of Herborn, positioned at an elevation similar to Herborn Castle.

The church, first recorded in 1219 and dedicated to St. Peter, belonged to the Teutonic Order from 1231 until 1578.

The interior contains multiple grave slabs, monuments, and epitaphs commemorating pastors, students, and professors from the nearby university.

The church structure includes a main nave, side aisles of equal height, and a Gothic choir with a five-eighths closure built in 1318.

The Walcker organ, installed in 1966, features 50 stops across three manuals and a pedal, replacing an earlier 1889 Friedrich Weigle instrument.
