St. Bonifatius, Gothic Revival church in Giessen, Germany.
St. Bonifatius stands as a three-nave basilica with a cross-shaped floor plan and polygonal high choir, located on an elevated plateau south of the old city center.
The Catholic parish returned to Giessen in 1784 when Franciscan priests from Wetzlar began conducting services, following a 250-year absence after the 1527 Reformation.
The church contains a detailed winged altar in the choir area, acquired in 1904, featuring intricate tracery and multiple religious figures.
The church office, located at Liebigstr. 28 in Giessen, provides administrative services and can be contacted by phone at 0641 565599-0 or through email.
The church suffered substantial damage from an explosive bomb in 1944, which destroyed the eastern side aisle and five choir windows, leading to reconstruction from 1945 to 1949.
