    The oldest German tent roof church, a beautiful building. I didn't like the church that much inside. It's possible that it was the lighting conditions. You should have seen this church

        St. Elisabeth is not the first place of worship in Birken-Honigsessen, but it is the most famous. Year after year, the church, built in 1930, attracts numerous tourists, church lovers and architecture students to the Rhineland-Palatinate town, and for good reasons: The church, which is now a listed building, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of the church architect Dominikus Böhm (Jettingen 1880 - 1955 Cologne), and, according to the architectural historian Holger Brülls, it is “the first tent-roof church in Germany”. In Birken-Honigsessen, the landscape, architecture and furnishings of the church come together to form a 'total work of art' that is well worth seeing.
