Kreuzkirche, Gothic Revival church in Südstadt, Bonn, Germany
The Kreuzkirche stands at 61 meters tall with its prominent spire and features four manual organs with 65 registers inside its stone walls.
The church's foundation stone was laid in 1866 under architect August Dieckhoff's design, and after wartime destruction, it was reconstructed between 1951 and 1954.
The church serves as a central venue for Protestant services in Bonn and maintains regular musical performances through its VOX BONA choir program.
Visitors can access the church from Tuesday to Saturday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM to explore the interior or attend religious services.
Underground air raid shelters beneath the church protected hundreds of Bonn residents during the bombing nights of 1944 and 1945.
