St.-Gertrud-Kirche, Kirchengebäude in Eisleben
St.-Gertrud-Kirche is a church building in Lutherstadt Eisleben featuring neogothic architecture with a prominent spire. The interior displays simple elegance with colored windows in the choir area, a historic organ, and a modern altar.
The church was built between 1914 and 1916, replacing a smaller chapel as the Catholic community grew. Following the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, the altar was modernized to bring the community closer together.
The church is dedicated to Saint Gertrud, reflecting the Catholic faith traditions in the region. It functions as a gathering place where the community hosts concerts, exhibitions, and festivals that keep local traditions active and welcoming to visitors.
The church is accessible on foot or by car and sits on Klosterplatz, a central area with nearby cafes and shops. Visitors should check ahead for opening times, as guided tours and concerts are held regularly.
The church houses a historic organ from the 1860s that produces beautiful music during services and special concerts. This instrument was moved into the current building and remains one of the most remarkable features of the interior.
