The Essen Market Church, known as Gertrudis Church until the end of the 19th century, is located in the Essen city center on the market, the original Essen market square, which was once the economic, political and religious center of the city. The hall church, which was originally Romanesque and, after partial reconstruction, became late Gothic, was the first Protestant church in Essen.

The Marktkirche is the oldest Protestant church in downtown Essen. It was the first church of the Essen citizens and the starting point of the Reformation in 1563. In the 11th century it was built in front of the gates of the Essen monastery. In 2006, the market church was redesigned by the architect Eckhard Gerber and a new west choir made of blue glass was added. Since September 2006, the Evangelical Church has maintained a church re-entry office in the Marktkirche, which is open every Wednesday

1054: First mention of a chapel "ad sanctam Gertrudern" in the will of Abbess Theophanu (1039-1058). The patron of the chapel is the Frankish Abbess Gertrud of Nivelles (626-17.3.653/9). In the late Middle Ages, the abbess was invoked primarily against plagues of rats and mice. Since the 14th century, Gertrudiskirche has been called the "Marktkirche".
