Heiliggeistkirche

Heiliggeistkirche, Protestant church in the Dominican monastery in Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Heiliggeistkirche is the Protestant church of the Dominican monastery in Frankfurt am Main, consecrated on the second Sunday of Advent in 1961 as a reconstruction of the late Gothic hall church destroyed in an air raid in 1944. The rebuilt church has two bays with star vaults, richly carved corbels and a hexagonal choir, and a slate-covered hipped roof carrying a small roof turret.

The present church was consecrated on the second Sunday of Advent 1961, rebuilding the late Gothic hall church of the Dominican monastery destroyed in an air raid in 1944. Its name continues that of the Gothic Heiliggeist-Kirche, which grew out of the Hospital of the Holy Spirit chapel and served Frankfurt's Protestant congregation from 1533 until its demolition in 1840.

The name continues the tradition of the Gothic Heiliggeist-Kirche, which grew out of the hospital church of the Heilig-Geist-Spital and served Frankfurt's Protestant congregation from 1533 to 1840. After the Reformation was introduced in 1533, all images of saints were removed from that church. Its epitaphs, including those of Siegfried zum Paradies and Katharina zum Wedel, were moved to the Alte Nikolaikirche before the 1840 demolition.

The church stands inside the Dominican monastery on the north side of the Saalgasse, between the Kaiserdom St. Bartholomäus and the Saalhof. The monastery also houses the Protestant city deanery of Frankfurt and Offenbach and the regional Protestant association. The rebuilt church was consecrated on the second Sunday of Advent 1961.

The church is named after a different building: the Gothic Heiliggeist-Kirche, demolished in 1840, which itself grew out of the chapel of the Heilig-Geist-Spital in the Saalgasse. Its epitaphs, including that of Siegfried zum Paradies (buried 1386), were moved to the Alte Nikolaikirche.
