Streitkirche, church building in Kronberg im Taunus, Germany

The Streitkirche is a church building in Kronberg im Taunus constructed between 1737 and 1739 in baroque style. The substantial structure displays classical features of that era and is now protected as a cultural monument.

Construction began in 1737 when the town sought to build a Catholic church next to the existing Protestant church. The structure was completed in 1739 following intense opposition from the local Protestant community, which pursued legal action against the project.

The name Streitkirche, "dispute church", comes from the conflict over its construction: Protestants protested the site beside their own church, the taxes imposed on them and the Mainz soldiers quartered in the town. The building was never consecrated; its bell frame was removed and it served as a warehouse. It stands next to the Protestant church, a visible result of the confessional dispute.

The building is centrally located in Kronberg im Taunus and is easily accessible by car or public transportation. Visitors can view the exterior and explore nearby historical sites including the adjacent Protestant church.

The 1765 Reichskammergericht ruling ordered the gable tower demolished, giving the building its classicist look. It was never consecrated and served as a warehouse. In 1820 the Catholic parish sought to convert it into a church at an estimated 7,000 gulden, but Duke William I refused on 23 November 1821.
