Kirche, Catholic church in Aschaffenburg, Germany.
The Herz-Jesu-Kirche is a church in Aschaffenburg with two prominent towers that shape the eastern skyline. Inside, marble altars and a large wooden cross create the main focal points, while a concert organ installed in 1995 combines mechanical and electrical mechanisms for musical performances.
Construction of the church took place between 1928 and 1929 in Aschaffenburg and faced severe damage in the early 1940s. A bombing raid in 1944 destroyed the western wall and collapsed the nave ceiling significantly.
The church is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, as its name indicates, and shapes the religious life of the eastern neighborhood. Visitors often notice how the community maintains connections with neighboring parishes through shared events and gatherings.
Visitors find plenty of seating space for quiet prayer and reflection, especially on weekdays when the church is less crowded. The two towers sometimes offer views of the city, depending on when access is available to visitors.
Five bells cast in 1956 by the Otto Foundry in Bremen-Hemelingen together weigh over 14 tons. These bells produce tones for the melodies Te Deum and Salve Regina when rung.
