St. Mauritius, Neo-Gothic parish church in Schwanheim, Frankfurt, Germany.

St. Mauritius is a Neo-Gothic hall church built from 1898 to 1901 to designs by Wiesbaden architect Joseph Dormann, a pupil of Max Meckel. It measures 47 meters long, with a 16-meter-wide nave, a 25-meter transept, and a 75-meter tower. The carved high altar, completed in 1906, fills the 16-meter arch of the choir window.

A church stood in Schwanheim by 880, when Louis the Younger endowed the Salvator collegiate church with the Martinskirche im Feld in Sueinheim. After a dispute around 1557 the chapel of St. Mauritius, enlarged around 1410, became the parish church, and the old St. Martin's was quarried during the Thirty Years' War. The present church was begun on 22 September 1898, St. Maurice's day, and consecrated in 1901 after exactly three years of construction.

The name honors Saint Maurice, a figure central to the local religious tradition and community identity. Residents gather here for services and celebrations that mark the church calendar and shape the rhythm of neighborhood life.

The church is oriented west-east, with the 47-metre-long nave running toward the choir; the main nave is 16 metres wide and the transept 25 metres. The tower rises 75 metres. Visitors enter from the west end and face the high altar at the far end of the choir.

In 2001, a slab buried in the ground was found at the site, bearing the figure of Christ from a late Gothic entombment group made shortly after 1400, flanked by two heads of surrounding saints. These are the oldest stone witnesses in Schwanheim and have been set up in the church since 2008.
