St. Markuskirche

St. Markuskirche is a Gothic Revival church building in Sonnenberg featuring two prominent spires and a red brick exterior. The structure displays characteristic details of late 19th-century northern German ecclesiastical architecture throughout its walls and roof.

The church was built in the early 1890s following designs by architects Abesser and Kröger. The structure was completed at the end of the 19th century and has served as a house of worship and local landmark since then.

The church displays tall windows and red brick walls that fill the interior with light and warmth. The furnishings inside reflect the taste of the era when it was constructed.

The site is located in a central area of Sonnenberg and is easy to reach. Visitors should keep in mind that this is an active place of worship, so opening times may be linked to religious services.

The bells of this church were cast by Bochumer Verein and survived both World Wars without damage. This survival is remarkable, as many other church bells were melted down for military purposes during that time.
