Immanuelskirche

The Immanuelskirche features a three-nave basilica design with five bays, incorporating steel and wooden structures that reflect 19th-century industrial Gothic architecture.

Construction of the Immanuelskirche began in 1867 to accommodate the growing population during industrialization, with architect Ernst Heinrich Glüer winning the design competition.

The church transformed into a concert venue in 1984 when community members formed an association to preserve the building and maintain its function as a cultural center.

The Immanuelskirche houses the largest church organ in Wuppertal, built by Schuke Berlin in 1967, and regularly hosts concerts and theatrical performances.

The exterior walls incorporate Grauwacke, a regional stone typical of the Bergisches Land area, while four polygonal staircases frame the building corners.
