Dreifaltigkeitskirche, Parish church and architectural heritage monument in Wiebelskirchen, Germany.
Description
The Dreifaltigkeitskirche is a three-nave basilica with a front tower built in neo-baroque style using approximately 600,000 stone blocks. A Späth organ from 1928 with 35 registers across three manuals and pedals defines the acoustic character of the interior space.
History
Construction began in 1915 following designs by architects Peter Marx and Gracher, with the church consecrated in 1916. Interior decoration came later, completed between 1923 and 1929 under Pastor Christoph März, who oversaw the application of the distinctive frescoes.
Culture
The name refers to the Holy Trinity, a central theme woven throughout the interior design. Walls are decorated with mineral paint frescoes depicting biblical stories that greet visitors as they walk through the space.
Practical
The interior accommodates about 1,500 visitors and features well-arranged seating throughout. The room's acoustics are enhanced by the organ, making services and concerts sound particularly resonant.
Did you know?
Monthly pilgrimages take place from May to October, originating from a wartime vow made in 1939. This ongoing tradition establishes the church as a destination for devotional journeys that continue to draw visitors across the region.
