The historicist Christ Church, based on the forms of the Italian High Renaissance, was built from 1896 to 1903 based on designs by Eduard Kreyßig. As early as 1894, the church council called an urban planning competition in which three out of five designs were awarded. In addition to Kreyßig's first draft, those by Skjøld Neckelmann and Johannes Otzen received awards. The static investigations and calculations, which were difficult due to the proximity to the Rhine, were carried out by Theodor Landsberg, Darmstadt Technical University. The church was consecrated on July 2, 1903. After the destruction in the air raids on Mainz on February 1, 1945[1], reconstruction took place from 1952 to 1954 under the direction of Heinrich Otto Vogel. Since then, the domed roof has been based on the Frauenkirche in Dresden. The interior was redesigned. An independent “weekday church” was built in the former nave. This is adjoined by the impressive central room, which is bordered by the gallery in the west and has a neo-Romanesque choir screen in the east. Hans Gottfried von Stockhausen designed the stained glass windows there with motifs from the Old and New Testaments. The building was consecrated on October 31st. The Laubacher Kantorei took over the musical arrangement of the consecration service. (Wikipedia)

In addition to the unusually complex architecture for a Protestant church, the green area with a large fountain offers a welcome cool-down for hikers with dogs.

The interior is very modern. It is a great contrast to the old, beautiful facade.
