St. Cyriakus (Frankfurt am Main)
The Cyriakuskirche is a Protestant church in the Rödelheim district of Frankfurt am Main . It is located on the street Auf der Insel .
For the year 788 a church in “Radilenheim” is mentioned in a document of the Lorsch monastery . For 1356 a "chapel outside the Rödelheimer Burg " is mentioned in a document. Both seem to refer to the previous buildings of today's Cyriakus Church. In the years from 1463 to 1467 the church was rebuilt and expanded. The Cyriakus Chapel from this building is still preserved today. In 1895 the Cyriakus Church was expanded again and received a steeple. After the destruction in the Second World War in the air raids on Frankfurt am Main in 1951/53, the old Gothic choir and the nave were rebuilt according to preliminary planning by Werner W. Neumann . In 1956 the church was equipped with a Steinmeyer organ.
Today the Evangelical Cyriac Congregation gathers here.
