Christuskirche, Protestant church building in Kassel, Germany

Christuskirche is a Protestant church of rough brownish-grey stone, built 1902–1903 to a design by Johannes Roth following the Eisenacher Regulativ. A square tower with a tall dark spire, clock face and louvered openings rises on the left; the main body has a steep dark tiled roof and a side facade with a circular rose window and a red door. Inside, a three-aisled nave with round-arched arcades on squat columns is covered by cross-ribbed vaults.

In 1894 the Wahlershausen community called for donations to build a church, but the appeal had little success until mayor Heinrich Wimmer took up the project amid the planned incorporation into Kassel. On 3 March 1900 the community representatives decided to build, and construction began in 1902 to plans by architect Johannes Roth. The foundation stone was laid on 10 November 1902, Luther's birthday, and the church was consecrated on 20 December 1903 as Christuskirche. Empress Auguste Viktoria donated an altar Bible for the ceremony, and admission tickets were issued for the crowded festive service.

The name Christuskirche was given at the consecration on 20 December 1903. Empress Auguste Viktoria donated an altar Bible for the ceremony, now kept in the parish archive. The Christ figure in the vestibule, donated by the Wahlershausen physician Moritz Wiederhold, is a copy of Bertel Thorvaldsen's 1827 Christ for Copenhagen's Frauenkirche, carved by Arthur Trebst from French champagne limestone.

The church stands on Landgraf-Karl-Straße in Bad Wilhelmshöhe, with the blue "Christuskirche" sign and a round clock mounted on a pole in front. The main entrance opens into a vestibule where the Christ figure, moved there in 1953, is displayed on the left. The parish centre east of the church, built to plans by Karl Berthold Penkhues, was inaugurated in 2001.

The Christ figure in the vestibule is a copy of Bertel Thorvaldsen's 1827 Christ for Copenhagen's Frauenkirche, carved by Arthur Trebst from French champagne limestone. It was donated by the Wahlershausen physician and spa director Moritz Wiederhold and stood at the right of the triumphal arch until the 1953 renovation moved it.
