Guided Story
Imagine standing in front of a building that's more than just a place of worship—it's a milestone of the New Frankfurt era. Look at the clean lines of this church. They're a signature of architect Hans Busch, who surprised many with his modern approach in the 1930s. Look up at the tower that rises above you; it was added during the 1951 renovation, beautifully bridging past and present. Behind you, the everyday life of Praunheim flows by, while here, you find a moment of calm. The simple facade hides a rich history embedded within its walls.
