Stadtkirche, Gothic church tower in Gießen, Germany
The Stadtkirche tower stands 50.7 meters tall and remains the oldest structure in central Gießen, featuring Renaissance-style dome architecture.
The original chapel from the 12th century transformed into a parish church by 1334, with the tower construction occurring between 1484 and 1520.
The Protestant congregation has gathered at this location since 1527, when the Reformation changed the religious landscape of Gießen.
The tower serves as an orientation point in the city center, visible from numerous streets and squares throughout Gießen.
After the church's destruction in 1944, the surviving tower maintained its original Gothic structure and received a reconstructed baroque dome in 1979.
