Zionskirche, Protestant church building in Bethel district, Bielefeld, Germany
The brick Zionskirche features a cross-shaped layout with two bell towers, red exterior walls, and space for 1,600 worshippers inside the main hall.
Prince Albrecht of Prussia inaugurated the church in November 1884, following suggestions from Pastor Friedrich von Bodelschwingh regarding design simplicity for accessibility.
Five choirs, five brass bands, Bible study groups, and sports teams operate within the church community, fostering social connections among congregation members.
The church maintains six glass-enclosed spaces near entrances and upper balconies to accommodate individuals with medical conditions during religious services.
Tanzanian drums decorate the church walls, commemorating financial contributions from Tanzania for tower construction, while South African donations funded the bell installation.
