Genezareth-Kirche

Genezareth-Kirche, Protestant church in western Aachen, Germany

Genezareth-Kirche is a Protestant church complex on Vaalser Straße in western Aachen, built of light tan brick as two rectangular volumes: a lower one set back on the left and a taller, longer one to the right. Black capital letters reading "GENEZARETH-KIRCHE" stand above the glazed entrance, with a tall wooden door and a narrow vertical window further along the facade. The windowless church hall is lit only indirectly, through shafts and skylights, and the community rooms open off a cloister around a central courtyard.

The building opened in 2018 following the merger of two congregations, Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Haus and Arche, which combined their communities. This union enabled the construction of a modern church center that brings both groups together in one shared facility.

The church takes its name from the Sea of Galilee and blends traditional Christian symbolism with modern, open design. The central courtyard with covered walkways creates a gathering space where visitors and parishioners naturally move and meet.

The church stands at Vaalser Straße 349 on the western edge of Aachen, in the Laurensberg district. The windowless hall is lit only indirectly, through shafts and skylights, so the interior reads differently from outside. The two bells hang in a separate tower; the larger weighs about 680 kg and sounds f′, the smaller about 215 kg and sounds des′.

The two bells in the separate tower were cast in November 2017 at the Mark-Maas foundry in Brockscheid and hung in March 2018. The larger, 112 cm across and about 680 kg, sounds f′ and carries a verse from Psalm 96; the smaller, 74 cm and about 215 kg, sounds des′ and is inscribed "Friede soll mit euch sein."
