Christuskirche

The Christuskirche features Renaissance architecture with an 80-meter high dome that makes it stand out among other religious buildings in Mainz.

Built between 1896 and 1903 by architect Eduard Kreyßig, the church underwent reconstruction from 1952 to 1954 following extensive damage during World War II.

The construction of Christuskirche marked the growth of Protestantism in Mainz, where the community expanded from 1,200 members in 1830 to 30,000 by 1930.

Located on Kaiserstrasse in Mainz, the church opens its doors throughout the week for religious services, exhibitions, and musical performances.

The architectural design draws direct inspiration from Italian Renaissance structures, particularly incorporating elements reminiscent of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
