St.-Nikolaus-Kirche, Russian Orthodox church in Hausen, Frankfurt, Germany

St.-Nikolaus-Kirche is a Russian Orthodox church building with a white exterior, onion dome, and open belfry designed in the Pskov architectural tradition. The small structure sits in a residential neighborhood and draws attention through its distinctive silhouette.

The church was completed in 1967 and consecrated in 1979 by an Archbishop and several bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church. The building was constructed to serve as a place of worship for the Orthodox community in this part of the city.

The iconostasis, interior walls and ceiling were painted by the icon painter Adam Russak with images of Christ, the Mother of God, New Testament scenes and saints, following the strict Novgorod style of the Russian Orthodox Church. Around 250 faithful attend the Sunday liturgies.

The building sits in a residential area along Am Industriehof street, near Ludwig-Landmann-Straße, within walking distance of other Frankfurt neighborhoods. Visitors should remember this is an active place of worship and dress and behave respectfully inside.

A community center was built next to the church between 2005 and 2008, designed by a Russian-French architect. This modern addition provides space for community activities while respecting the historic place of worship beside it.
