The old town of Oberursel is dominated by the spire of its church, dedicated to St Ursula…read more There has been a church on the present site since the 12th century, but the present structure dates mostly from a rebuilding in the 15th century. The old church was originally destined to be replaced by a completely new one, but as ever costs escalated and the old church was reconstructed instead. This explains the irregular layout of St. Ursula's, with the odd angle of its choir and sanctuary. The tower was built between 1479 and 1498 as a guard and bell tower After being destroyed in the Thirty Years War, the church was rebuilt in 1645, although much of the original fabric survives. The main features of interest are the carvings on the exterior of the church, which include a rather camp knight, with hand on hips, a delightful monkey, a lounging dog and a man with a horse's ears, as well as the inevitable saints and apostles. Inside are some 18th-century funeral monuments, a fine organ and an elaborately-decorated pulpit. The terrace of the church provides good views over the old town, and tours of the tower are available in summer.

So happy that our tour guide stopped here and allowed us to explore Dom St. Bartholomaus freely…read moreduring our walking tour of Frankfurt. it is stunning. The church is the main church of Frankfurt. It is the largest religious building in the city and a former collegiate church. Although the English name is the Frankfurt Cathedral, it has never been an actual cathedral. Rather it is a Kaiserdom or an "imperial great church" or the Dom because of its historic role as former election and coronation church of the Holy Roman Empire. The earliest church, and an adjacent royal palace which stood on the site, was originally founded in 852. The palace itself was created in the 9th century under Louis the Pious, the son of Charlemagne. Centuries later, the Palace Church was replaced twice as the community changed. Since 1356, when the Golden Bull of 1356 was issued by Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor, emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were elected in this collegiate church as Kings of the Romans. From 1562 to 1792, emperors-elect were crowned here. When the city of Frankfurt secularized, St. Bartholomew's became the city's main church. In 1867, St. Bartholomew's was destroyed by a fire and rebuilt in its present style. During World War II, the old town of Frankfurt was devastated by bombardments of the Allied Air Forces. St. Bartholomew's suffered severe damage. The interior was burned out completely. It was restored in the 1950s. Definitely worth a stop in Frankfurt.

The holy mass is held every Sunday at 9:30 am in English and at 11:30 am in German. The parish is also quite busy with charity events, pilgrimage and social work. It is a great way to connect to other expats in Frankfurt away from home. Besides all the church work, the builing itself is rather small but very beautifully decorated with ancient murals and marvelous architectural details - well worth a visit.

Situated adjacent to the Schloss Homburg, this huge church was begun on the initiative of Kaiser…read moreWilhelm II in 1903 for the Lutheran (Protestant) congregation of the town, who used to hold their services in the Palace. It was opened in the presence of the Kasier and his wife in 1908. Designed in the Romanesque style and with four splendid 'Rhenish helm' towers, this was designed to be fit for an Emperor. The exterior appears in the standard cross-shaped plan, but the interior features a huge central cupola under the crossing, with large galleries filling the transepts, and an astonishingly wide nave, all on a cathedral-like scale. The main feature apart from its size is its breathtakingly elaborate decorative scheme of painted walls and ceilings, and spectacular mosaics. These cover the upper walls and, most notably, the apse of the Choir, depicting Christ in Majesty and the stunning golden expanse of the cupola, lit by a huge cross-shaped lantern. No expense was spared on the materials, with the extensive use of marble and stained glass windows, featuring prominent use of the German Imperial Eagle motif. Bad Homburg is noted as a town for its church organs, and a festival is held here every year. The Erlöserkirche possesses both a large, turn-of-the-20th-century Sauer organ and a new Bach organ based on a 1742 Thuringian model. The church has stunning acoustics, and is therefore a popular venue for concerts of both classical and religious music, as well as lectures. The church is also the focus for the congregation's vibrant pastoral life see website for details of services and activities.
