Herz Jesu, Neo-Gothic church in Sangerhausen, Germany.

The Herz-Jesu-Kirche is a red brick Neo-Gothic church consecrated in 1894, with a steep slate roof and a tall tower on the right. The square brick tower has a balcony railing near the top, two tiers of narrow arched windows, and a dark pointed spire with four corner pinnacles. The main body has large pointed-arch windows with tracery, and a timber-framed section with red brick is visible on the left edge.

The church was built in 1894 when the Catholic community re-established itself in the town after centuries of Protestant influence in the region. Its construction reflects the return of Catholic faith during the industrial era.

The church's name refers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Its 1961 glazing is by Charles Crodel: three choir windows, two side windows and a round window in the St. Jutta Chapel, the former baptismal chapel converted in 2007. The parish was raised from a mission to a full parish on Easter Sunday, 15 April 1900.

Access to the church happens at different times depending on the day of the week, so checking ahead before your visit is helpful. The building sits in the town center and is easily walkable from most places.

The first organ came from the Marienkirche; in 1905 the Gebr. Krell workshop of Duderstadt built a new instrument with 14 registers on two manuals and pedal. A later organ was consecrated on 23 May 1976. Of the three bells cast in 1893 by Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock, only the small Mathildis bell survived both world wars.
