Cruciskirche

The Cruciskirche stands at the end of Neuwerkstrasse, featuring Gothic walls and architectural elements merged with later Baroque modifications and decorative details.

First documented in 1168, the church underwent reconstruction between 1466 and 1473, replacing its Romanesque structure with a Gothic design that incorporated existing walls.

The church houses a Franciscus Volckland organ from 1732, containing 28 registers across two manuals and pedals, used for international organ competitions and concerts.

The church maintains regular prayer services and ceremonies as part of St. Laurentius City Parish, offering space for religious gatherings and community events.

The interior reveals an extensive Baroque ensemble contrasting with the exterior's modest appearance, making it a significant example of Central German church architecture.
