Evangelische Hauptkirche Rheydt, Protestant church in Rheydt, Germany.

The church features four corner towers and a central spire, constructed in Romanesque Revival style with a bright interior space accommodating 1200 seats.

Built between 1899 and 1902 by architect Johannes Otzen, the church replaced a medieval structure and underwent reconstruction after World War II damages.

The church serves as a Cross of Nails center, focusing on peace and reconciliation while offering regular religious services and musical performances.

The church maintains an accessible location in central Rheydt, with the Building Association actively working to preserve this architectural monument.

The interior design places the pulpit altar as the central focus, with supporting pillars minimized to ensure clear views from every seat.
