Cantate-Domino church, church in Frankfurt

The Cantate-Domino church is a flat-roofed group of white-painted brick buildings of varying heights on Ernst-Kahn-Straße in the Nordweststadt, with no tower. The main hall runs west to east behind a forecourt marked by a modest bell wall, and its name is mounted in large letters on the facade. Inside, a roughly twelve-metre-high hall with whitewashed walls is lit by glass domes in the roof; a ten-metre woollen tapestry by Heinz Kreutz hangs behind the olive-wood altar.

The congregation was founded in June 1960, before the Nordweststadt estate was built; the church itself followed in 1963–1966 to plans by Walter Schwagenscheidt and Tassilo Sittmann. In 1980 the Römerstadt congregation, previously part of Heddernheim's Thomasgemeinde, took the name Cantate Domino. On 1 January 2020 it merged with the neighbouring St. Thomas, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Gustav Adolf congregations into the Evangelical Congregation Frankfurt am Main – Northwest. The building is now a protected monument under Hesse's heritage law.

The name comes from Psalm 98, "Cantate Domino", and the building was designed for church music: the acoustics were tuned to it, with perforated stone fields in the walls and acoustic panels on the concrete ceiling ribs. The Ghanaian Presbyterian congregation of Frankfurt also holds its services here.

The church stands on Ernst-Kahn-Straße in the south of the Nordweststadt, on Heddernheim ground, within a centre that also holds a kindergarten, the St.-Sebastians-Kirche and the Römerstadtschule. There is no tower to steer by; look instead for the low bell wall at the edge of the square in front of the west-to-east building. The entrance is through a foyer.

The church has no tower; a low bell wall at the edge of the forecourt signals its function instead. The bells were cast by the Schilling foundry. The name was added in large letters on the white facade only later, and it refers to Psalm 98.
