St. Marien, Roman Catholic parish church in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany.
St. Marien is a Gothic Revival parish church in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe featuring pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and buttresses. The interior displays an elaborate altar area and detailed stained glass windows depicting biblical narratives.
The foundation stone was laid in 1892, and the church was consecrated on August 14, 1895. Following the extinction of the Landgrave family in 1866, the parish was incorporated into the Diocese of Limburg in 1884.
The church serves as a venue for religious services, concerts, and art exhibitions, drawing people from across the city. It shapes community life and marks the rhythm of the year in Bad Homburg.
The church houses a six-bell peal cast in 1894 and an organ built in 1906, both restored multiple times over the decades. Visitors can appreciate these instruments during regular opening hours and hear how they create the soundscape during services.
Queen Victoria of Great Britain was among the distinguished guests at the consecration in 1895. Her presence highlighted the importance this new church held for the city at that time.
