Trinity Church

The Roman Catholic Trinity Church in the Hessian state capital Wiesbaden is a neo-Romanesque church built by Ludwig Becker from 1910 to 1912 . Together with the other large inner-city churches, it forms a unique testimony to historicist architecture. Due to its location on a hill, its 38 m high west and 65 m high choir flank towers are visible from afar.

history

The parish church was consecrated on September 29, 1912. For the church, the Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen cast four bronze bells with the striking tones c ′ - es ′ - f ′ - g ′. Today none of these bells exist anymore. At the time of the consecration of the church, a large part of the equipment was still missing , which was only added later. The painting was realized in 1925. During the Second World War , on February 3, 1945, the structure was badly damaged, but it was simply restored between 1950 and 1952. Since all Catholic parishes in Wiesbaden city center were merged on January 1, 2012, the Trinity Church has been a subsidiary church of St. Bonifatius .

The celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the Trinity Church began on June 3, 2012 and ended on September 30, 2012 with the parish festival.
