Dreifaltigkeitskirche, Aachen

The Dreifaltigkeitskirche is a Protestant church building in Gothic Revival style with a 62-meter-tall tower located in central Aachen. Its interior accommodates roughly 650 people and displays typical features of late 19th-century architecture.

Construction started in 1897 following architect Heinrich Reinhardt's design and opened in 1899 at the border between Aachen and Burtscheid. The building suffered heavy damage from air raids during World War 2 but was later restored.

The space transformed into JuKi Aachen in 2015 and now serves mainly as a gathering place for youth and community events. You will find young people regularly using it for concerts, discussions, and social meetings.

The building sits on Zollernstraße 11 in the central Aachen district and is easily reached on foot from downtown. Extensive renovation work in 2011 stabilized the structure and repaired the masonry.

Only one of the original four bells remains in the tower, with the others needing to be recast after severe damage from bombing raids in 1943. This surviving bell tells the story of destruction and rebuilding that shaped the city after the war.
