Herz Jesu, Catholic church in Aachen-Mitte, Germany
The Herz Jesu church stands as a neo-Romanesque sandstone basilica with a 38-meter tower that extends 17.50 meters above the church dome.
Construction of the church began in 1908 under architect Josef Kleesattel, and Cardinal Fischer from Cologne performed the consecration ceremony on June 5, 1910.
The interior features the second largest mosaic in the Diocese of Aachen, depicting the Holy Trinity and scenes from the creation story.
Visitors can access the church through guided walking tours or create personalized routes using mobile applications that cover the Frankenberg district.
The original architectural plans required a 90-degree rotation to align the altar eastward, now symbolically pointing toward the rising sun.
