Interesting Art Nouveau church building on the outskirts of the city.

When the previous Protestant church (today: "Ferdinand-Balzer-Haus") had become too small around 1900, the Karlsruhe architects Curjel & Moser, who had already built the administrative building for the Oberursel engine factory, received the order to plan a new "modern" Church. Art Nouveau shaped the design and because of this special feature, the building and furnishings are now under monument protection.
The design of the interior follows the Wiesbaden program, a typically Protestant concept based on the model of the Wiesbaden Ring Church. Altar, pulpit and organ are arranged axially one above the other.
Sacrament, word and liturgical chant determine the architecture. This style with the elements of Art Nouveau has several peculiarities: The nave is not divided into naves as in other churches and the rows of seats are grouped around the altar. The altar is not in a choir far from the people, but in the middle of the community. The broad pulpit dominates the chancel.
