Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, Parish church in Bad Kreuznach, Germany.
The Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche is a Gothic Revival church with pointed arches, soaring vertical lines, and ornamental details covering its facade. The interior received considerable attention during its construction, showing the craftsmanship invested over many years of work.
The church was built between 1895 and 1897 under a Mainz Cathedral architect and continued to receive interior work until 1921. This construction period coincided with a time of economic growth for the town of Bad Kreuznach.
The church serves as a meeting place for different faiths, where regular peace prayers bring together Christians, Jews, and Muslims in shared reflection. This open approach shapes the community life and appears in the diverse people who gather here.
The church is open on weekdays during parish office hours and holds regular religious services for the community. Visitors should plan for standard opening times of an active parish church and be respectful of ongoing religious activities.
Since 2006, the church operates a Sunday meal program that serves people facing hardship at no cost. The meals are offered each year from the beginning of Lent through Easter and reflect the community's commitment to helping others.
