Mennonitenkirche Krefeld

The Mennonite church stands behind high walls with access through a portal on Mennoniten-Kirch-Strasse, featuring traditional architectural elements and an interior worship space.

The congregation received permission to construct their church during Krefeld's first city expansion in 1691, completing the building in 1693 with initial services held in 1696.

The church serves a Mennonite community of 800 members from Krefeld and surrounding areas, maintaining religious traditions while incorporating regional influences over time.

The building underwent reconstruction after severe damage during the 1943 bombing raids, reopening for services in May 1950 with a new organ installed in 1961.

The original structure was deliberately designed as a courtyard church set back from the street to prevent immediate recognition as a religious building.
