Christ Church, Windhoek, Lutheran church in Windhoek, Namibia
The Christ Church features a 24-meter spire, sandstone walls from Avis Dam quarry, and Italian Carrara marble in its portico construction.
The foundation stone was placed in 1907, and the church opened in 1910 as a symbol of reconciliation between German settlers and local populations.
The German-speaking Lutheran congregation maintains regular services, preserving German religious traditions in the heart of Namibia since 1896.
The church stands on Robert Mugabe Avenue opposite the Tintenpalast, offering German language services every Sunday at 10:00.
Three bronze bells cast by Franz Schilling carry inscriptions of glory, peace, and goodwill, while the windows were gifts from Emperor Wilhelm II.
