Christuskirche

The church features three towers and sandstone exterior walls that shield the interior from the street noise at Wilhelmsplatz traffic circle.

Following World War II destruction in April 1945, architect Karl Pfeiffer-Haardt designed the new church building, with construction starting in November 1953.

The altar cross displays copper-forged gold plating with an ebony corpus, featuring the four evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John at its ends.

The church serves 2,400 Lutheran members and stands between the main railway station and the Festspielhaus, offering regular services and community activities.

The building incorporates the number three in multiple architectural details, suggesting it could have been named Trinity Church instead of Christ Church.
