St. Albert, Parish church in Dornbusch district, Frankfurt, Germany.
St. Albert is a parish church in the Dornbusch district, built with a 45-meter bell tower that stands out in the neighborhood skyline. The structure extends partially below ground level and includes spaces that were added during a 1950s expansion.
The St. Albert community formed in 1934 and built the church through neighborhood donations, with its consecration taking place on Palm Sunday in 1938. This completion marked an important moment for religious life in the growing district.
The church serves as a gathering space for the neighborhood, where residents mark important moments through Sunday worship and seasonal celebrations. It reflects the Catholic community's faith and traditions that have shaped daily life in this part of the city.
The church is easily reached by public transportation, making visits straightforward for those without cars. Information about services and events is available through local notices and the church's regular communications.
Frankfurt architect Martin Weber designed the church in 1935 with underground spaces that were later expanded for additional functionality. This unconventional approach showed how a growing neighborhood could gain more usable space beneath street level.
