Protestant Churches in the centre of Wiesbaden

Plans for a second Protestant church in Wiesbaden on the hill above the Kochbrunnen Fountain date back to the year 1837, but it could only be built after the Prussian Wars (1866 to 1871) and was consecrated in 1897.

The exterior of the Luther Church with its majestic main tower and the high roof remind one of Luther's hymn "A mighty fortress is our God".

The Protestant Market Church was erected under the direction of Carl Boos, Senior Chief Architect of Nassau from 1853 to 1862 as a neo-Gothic basilica with a nave and two aisles without an upper storey.

Wiesbaden architect Neuser created the parish centre in an adaptation of the Romanesque basilica in the 1960s.

Until the erection of the Ring Church, there was not really a Protestant tradition of ecclesiastical architecture, and Protestant churches were based on Catholic models.

For 40 years now the Protestant St. Thomas' Church and its bell tower, which can be seen from afar, have dominated the landscape in the northeast of the city.

In 1429 Werner Hut, Lord of the Castle in Sonnenberg, donated the chapel of St Mary in the Valley.
