English Church, Anglican church building in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany

The English Church is a former Anglican church at Ferdinandstraße 16 in Bad Homburg, built as a two-storey hall church with a semi-circular choir and a slate-covered saddleback roof. Its style recalls an English parish church and is described as Gothic, neo-Gothic, Norman or Romanesque Revival. One original stained-glass window is kept in the town museum at the Gothic House.

This structure was built from 1861 to 1865 in response to a request from the English community living in the area. Local hoteliers and casino operators provided financial backing for the construction.

The church was dedicated as Christ Church, consecrated on 2 September 1868 by Archibald Campbell Tait, Bishop of London. Since its reopening on 14 September 1990 it has run as a cultural centre with jazz and classical concerts, cabaret, Kleinkunst, lectures and exhibitions. A monument to Landgräfin Elizabeth, daughter of George III, stands on the grass along its east side.

The main entrance is on the west side, where a foyer built in 1989–1990 by architect Reinhold Kargel stands in front of the church door, linked to it by a glass corridor. The east side faces Ferdinandstraße, and the 1908 monument to Landgräfin Elizabeth stands on the grass there. The building is a listed monument and is used for events rather than regular services.

The organ originally installed here was relocated to Heilig-Kreuz Kirche in 1953 and remains the only surviving 19th-century English organ in the country. Visitors interested in pipe organs can still hear this historic instrument at its current location.
