Gemarker Kirche, Protestant church in Barmen district, Wuppertal, Germany
The Gemarker Kirche displays eclectic architecture with high exterior walls and contains five bronze bells cast by Rincker foundry in 1962.
Originally constructed in 1710 under Duke Johann Wilhelm II, the church was rebuilt between 1887 and 1890 to accommodate 1300 people due to industrialization.
The church incorporates bronze sculptures named Frierender and Wartender, installed in 2015, which enhance the spiritual expression of the building.
The church maintains regular worship services, hosts community gatherings, and publishes a quarterly newsletter detailing activities and upcoming events.
During World War II, British air raids in May 1943 destroyed the building except for its outer walls, leading to reconstruction from 1954 to 1955.
