St. Andreas, Gothic Revival church in Erbach, Homburg, Germany

St. Andreas is a Gothic Revival church in Homburg-Erbach featuring a three-nave hall design crowned by a distinctive 64-meter tall tower with a pointed spire. Inside, biblical scenes are depicted in colored stained glass windows, and the space includes a substantial organ with multiple sections.

Construction of the church began in 1902 under architect Wilhelm Schulte and was consecrated in 1906 by Bishop Konrad von Busch. Over the following decades, the building underwent several modifications, including significant organ expansion during the 1950s.

The parish is dedicated to Saint Andrew, whose statue stands inside the church. Since 2016 St. Andreas has belonged to the merged parish of Hl. Johannes XXIII, with the neighbouring Maria vom Frieden church serving as the main place of worship. The four bells cast by Friedrich Wilhelm Schilling in 1952 ring the quarter hours, and the full peal sounds only on high feasts.

The building is accessible by foot or public transport in the Homburg-Erbach area and offers a clear view of early 20th-century architecture from outside. For details about visiting times and access, contact the local parish office beforehand.

The tower's 1938 conversion into a parish hall is not the only later change: the slate roof covering was replaced with fibre-cement panels in the late 1950s, and corrosion at the old sandstone cornice forced the gutters to be renewed in the early 1990s. A full restoration followed from 2003 to 2009, correcting construction faults dating from the 1902–1906 build.
