Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, Lutheran church in Coburg, Germany.

The Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche features a late Gothic choir with ribbed vault and a three-nave longhouse separated by three columns in the main structure.

Between 1735 and 1739, architect Johann David Steingruber transformed the building into a hall church, raising the roof ridge to match the choir height.

The church interior contains a Renaissance baptismal font transferred from Ehrenburg castle chapel in 1691, reflecting the regional artistic traditions.

Located at Hintere Kreuzgasse 15 in Coburg, the church maintains an active congregation of over 4000 members and welcomes visitors throughout the year.

The dendrochronologically dated roof structure from 1406 extends 15.6 meters with a distinctive 65-degree slope, demonstrating medieval engineering techniques.
