Christuskirche, church building in Schwarzenbach am Wald, Bavaria, Germany

The Christuskirche is a hall church rebuilt in 1865 after a fire destroyed the previous 1784 building in 1859. It has a nave, a three-sided choir to the southwest, and a tower to the northeast that was raised with octagonal storeys and a slate-covered Welsche Haube in 1948/49. The tower's top floor holds the clock and bell frame; the organ, built in 2002 by Hermann Eule Orgelbau Bautzen, has 28 stops on two manuals and pedal.

The original church building burned down in 1859 and was rebuilt in 1865 to serve the community again. The tower underwent reconstruction after World War Two between 1948 and 1949, gaining its distinctive modern form.

The Christuskirche serves the local Lutheran community as a gathering place for worship and shared life events. It is where residents come together for weddings, baptisms, and seasonal celebrations that connect them to their traditions.

The church stands in Schwarzenbach am Wald, in the Upper Franconian district of Hof. The tower's top floor holds the clock and the bell frame, and the organ loft is reached separately from the nave. The sources give no details on step-free entry, parking or opening times, so check locally before relying on barrier-free access.

The organ was newly built in 2002 with two keyboards and pedal controls, replacing an earlier instrument from 1952. Today it is central to services and shows how the community has renewed its fittings for future generations.
